BACKGROUND

The majority of current marketed antibody therapeutics are bivalent monospecific antibodies optimized and selected for high affinity binding and avidity conferred by the two antigen-binding domains. Afucosylation or enhancement of FcgR binding by mutagenesis have been employed to render antibodies more efficacious via antibody Fc dependent cell cytotoxicity mechanisms. Afucyosylated antibodies or antibodies with enhanced FcgR binding still suffer from incomplete therapeutic efficacy in clinical testing and marketed drug status has yet to be achieved for any of these antibodies. Typical bivalent antibodies conjugated to toxins (antibody drug conjugates) are more efficacious but broader clinical utility is limited by dose-limiting toxicity.

Therapeutic antibodies would ideally possess certain minimal characteristics, including target specificity, biostability, bioavailability and biodistribution following administration to a subject patient, and sufficient target binding affinity and high target occupancy to maximize antibody dependent therapeutic effects. Typically therapeutic antibodies are monospecific. Monospecific targeting however does not address other target epitopes that may be relevant in signaling and disease pathogenesis, allowing for drug resistance and escape mechanism. Some of the current therapeutic paradigms call for the use of combination of two therapeutic monospecific antibodies targeting two different epitopes of the same target antigen. One example is the use of a combination of Trastuzumab and Pertuzumab, both targeting the HER2 receptor protein on the surface of some cancer cells, but patients still progress with disease while others with lower HER2 receptor levels (HER2 <3+ by Hercept test) show no therapeutic benefit. Therapeutic antibodies targeting HER2 are disclosed in WO 2012/143523 to GenMab and WO 2009/154651 to Genentech. Antibodies are also described in WO 2009/068625 and WO 2009/068631.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

Described herein are antigen-binding constructs comprising a first antigen-binding polypeptide construct which monovalently and specifically binds a HER2 (human epidermal growth factor receptor 2) ECD2 (extracellular domain 2) antigen on a HER2-expressing cell and a second antigen-binding polypeptide construct which monovalently and specifically binds a HER2 ECD4 (extracellular domain 4) antigen on a HER2-expressing cell, wherein at least one of the ECD2- or the ECD4-binding polypeptide constructs is an scFv. In certain embodiments, the ECD2-binding polypeptide construct is an scFv, and the ECD4-binding polypeptide construct is a Fab. In certain embodiments, the ECD2-binding polypeptide construct is a Fab and the ECD4 binding polypeptide construct is an scFv. In some embodiments, both the ECD2- and ECD4-binding polypeptide constructs are scFvs. In some embodiments, the antigen-binding constructs have a dimeric Fc comprising a CH3 sequence. In some embodiments, the Fc is a heterodimer having one or more modifications in the CH3 sequence that promote the formation of a heterodimer with stability comparable to a wild-type homodimeric Fc. In some embodiments, the heterodimeric CH3 sequence has a melting temperature (Tm) of 68° C. or higher.

The antigen-binding constructs exhibit anti-tumor activities in vitro, such as (i) the ability to inhibit cancer cell growth both in the presence or absence of stimulation by epidermal growth factor or heregulin, (ii) the ability to be internalized in cancer cells and (iii) the ability to mediate antibody-directed effector cell killing (ADCC). These in vitro activities are observed both with naked antigen-binding constructs (i.e. unconjugated to drug or toxin), and with the antigen-binding constructs conjugated to maytansine, and at varying levels of HER2 expression (1+, 2+ and 3+).

It is shown herein that the format (scFv/scFv, scFv/Fab or Fab/Fab) of the antigen-binding constructs is important in determining its functional profile. In certain embodiments, the anti-HER2 binding constructs exhibit an increased ability to be internalized by HER2-expressing tumor cells compared to a reference biparatopic antigen-binding construct in which both the ECD2- and ECD4-binding polypeptide constructs are Fabs. One embodiment, in which both the ECD2 and ECD4-binding polypeptides are scFvs, is internalized to a greater extent by tumor cells expressing HER2 at a level of 1+, 2+ or 3+ than constructs of equivalent affinity that have a Fab/scFv format, which in turn are internalized more efficiently than constructs of equivalent affinity that have a Fab/Fab format. Embodiments that are readily internalized are good candidates for antibody-drug conjugates, which require internalization by a tumor cell to effect killing.

In certain embodiments, the antigen-binding constructs exhibit an increased potency in ADCC killing of tumor cells that express low levels of HER2 compared to constructs of equivalent affinity that have a Fab/Fab format. In one embodiment, an antigen-binding construct having a Fab/scFv format is more potent in ADCC killing of tumor cells expressing low levels of HER2 (HER2 0-1+ or 1+) than an anti-HER2 construct having a Fab/Fab format, which in turn is more potent than an antigen-binding construct having a scFv/scFv format.

In some embodiments, the anti-HER2 antigen-binding constructs are glycosylated.

In some embodiments, the anti-HER2 binding constructs are afucosylated. In some embodiments, the anti-HER2 binding constructs are coupled to a drug. In some embodiments, the anti-HER2 binding constructs are coupled to maytansine (DM1) through an SMCC linker.

Also described herein are methods of treating a subject having a HER2+ tumor by administering an anti-HER2 antigen-binding construct to the subject. In some embodiments, the level of HER2 expression on the tumor is 2+ or lower. In some embodiments, the antigen-binding construct is conjugated to maytansine. In certain embodiments, the tumor is pancreatic cancer, head and neck cancer, gastric cancer, colorectal cancer, breast cancer, renal cancer, cervical cancer, ovarian cancer, endometrial cancer, uterine cancer, malignant melanoma, cancer of the pharynx, oral cancer or skin cancer. In some embodiments, the tumor is (i) a HER2 3+ estrogen receptor negative (ER−), progesterone receptor negative (PR−), trastuzumab resistant, chemotherapy resistant invasive ductal breast cancer, (ii) a HER2 3+ ER−, PR−, trastuzumab resistant inflammatory breast cancer, (iii) a HER2 3+, ER−, PR−, invasive ductal carcinoma or (iv) a HER2 2+HER2 gene amplified trastuzumab and pertuzumab resistant breast cancer.

Also provided herein are methods of inhibiting the growth of tumor cells or killing tumor cells by administering the antigen-binding constructs.

Also provided herein is a modified pertuzumab construct comprising mutations Y96A in the VL region and T30A/A49G/L70F in the VH region (according to Kabat numbering). In one embodiment, the modified pertuzumab construct is monovalent, and has a 7 to 9-fold higher affinity for HER2 ECD2 than pertuzumab. In certain embodiments, the modified pertuzumab construct has a Fab/Fab, an Fab/scFv or an scFv/scFv format.

Bispecific Antigen-Binding Constructs

Provided herein are bispecific antigen-binding constructs that bind HER2. The bispecific antigen-binding construct includes two antigen-binding polypeptide constructs, each specifically binding a different epitope of HER2. In some embodiments, the antigen-binding construct is derived from known antibodies or antigen-binding constructs. As described in more detail below, the antigen-binding polypeptide constructs can be, but are not limited to, protein constructs such as Fab (fragment antigen-binding), scFv (single chain Fv) and sdab (single domain antibody). Typically the antigen-binding construct includes an Fc.

The term “antigen-binding construct” refers to any agent, e.g., polypeptide or polypeptide complex capable of binding to an antigen. In some aspects an antigen-binding construct is a polypeptide that specifically binds to an antigen of interest. An antigen-binding construct can be a monomer, dimer, multimer, a protein, a peptide, or a protein or peptide complex; an antibody, an antibody fragment, or an antigen-binding fragment thereof; an scFv and the like. An antigen-binding construct can be a polypeptide construct that is monospecific, bispecific, or multispecific. In some aspects, an antigen-binding construct can include, e.g., one or more antigen-binding components (e.g., Fabs or scFvs) linked to one or more Fc. Further examples of antigen-binding constructs are described below and provided in the Examples.

The term “bispecific” is intended to include any agent, e.g., an antigen-binding construct, which has two antigen-binding moieties (e.g. antigen-binding polypeptide constructs), each with a unique binding specificity. For example, a first antigen-binding moiety binds to an epitope on a first antigen, and a second antigen-binding moiety binds to an epitope on a second antigen. The term “biparatopic” as used herein, refers to a bispecific antibody where the first antigen-binding moiety and the second antigen-binding moiety bind to different epitopes on the same antigen. A biparatopic bispecific antibody may bind to two epitopes on the same antigen molecule, or it may bind to epitopes on two different antigen molecules.

A monospecific antigen-binding construct refers to an antigen-binding construct with one binding specificity. In other words, both antigen-binding moieties bind to the same epitope on the same antigen. Examples of monospecific antigen-binding constructs include trastuzumab, pertuzumab, which bind to HER2 for example.

An antigen-binding construct can be an antibody or antigen-binding portion thereof. As used herein, an “antibody” or “immunoglobulin” refers to a polypeptide substantially encoded by an immunoglobulin gene or immunoglobulin genes, or fragments thereof, which specifically bind and recognize an analyte (e.g., antigen). The recognized immunoglobulin genes include the kappa, lambda, alpha, gamma, delta, epsilon and mu constant region genes, as well as the myriad immunoglobulin variable region genes. Light chains are classified as either kappa or lambda. The “class” of an antibody or immunoglobulin refers to the type of constant domain or constant region possessed by its heavy chain. There are five major classes of antibodies: IgA, IgD, IgE, IgG, and IgM, and several of these may be further divided into subclasses (isotypes), e.g., IgGi, IgG₂, IgG₃, IgG₄, IgAi, and IgA₂. The heavy chain constant domains that correspond to the different classes of immunoglobulins are called α, δ, ε, γ, and μ, respectively.

An exemplary immunoglobulin (antibody) structural unit is composed of two pairs of polypeptide chains, each pair having one “light” (about 25 kD) and one “heavy” chain (about 50-70 kD). The N-terminal domain of each chain defines a variable region of about 100 to 110 or more amino acids primarily responsible for antigen recognition. The terms variable light chain (VL) and variable heavy chain (VH) refer to these light and heavy chain domains respectively. The IgG1 heavy chain comprises of the VH, CH1, CH2 and CH3 domains respectively from the N to C-terminus. The light chain comprises of the VL and CL domains from N to C terminus. The IgG1 heavy chain comprises a hinge between the CH1 and CH2 domains. In certain embodiments, the immunoglobulin constructs comprise at least one immunoglobulin domain from IgG, IgM, IgA, IgD, or IgE connected to a therapeutic polypeptide. In some embodiments, the immunoglobulin domain found in an antigen-binding construct provided herein, is from or derived from an immunoglobulin based construct such as a diabody, or a nanobody. In certain embodiments, the immunoglobulin constructs described herein comprise at least one immunoglobulin domain from a heavy chain antibody such as a camelid antibody. In certain embodiments, the immunoglobulin constructs provided herein comprise at least one immunoglobulin domain from a mammalian antibody such as a bovine antibody, a human antibody, a camelid antibody, a mouse antibody or any chimeric antibody.

The term “hypervariable region” or “HVR”, as used herein, refers to each of the regions of an antibody variable domain which are hypervariable in sequence and/or form structurally defined loops (“hypervariable loops”). Generally, native four-chain antibodies comprise six HVRs; three in the VH (H1, H2, H3), and three in the VL (L1, L2, L3). HVRs generally comprise amino acid residues from the hypervariable loops and/or from the complementarity determining regions (CDRs), the latter being of highest sequence variability and/or involved in antigen recognition. With the exception of CDR1 in VH, CDRs generally comprise the amino acid residues that form the hypervariable loops. Hypervariable regions (HVRs) are also referred to as “complementarity determining regions” (CDRs), and these terms are used herein interchangeably in reference to portions of the variable region that form the antigen-binding regions. This particular region has been described by Kabat et al., U.S. Dept. of Health and Human Services, Sequences of Proteins of Immunological Interest (1983) and by Chothia et al., J Mol Biol 196:901-917 (1987), where the definitions include overlapping or subsets of amino acid residues when compared against each other. Nevertheless, application of either definition to refer to a CDR of an antibody or variants thereof is intended to be within the scope of the term as defined and used herein. The appropriate amino acid residues which encompass the CDRs as defined by each of the above cited references are set forth below in Table 1 as a comparison. The exact residue numbers which encompass a particular CDR will vary depending on the sequence and size of the CDR. Those skilled in the art can routinely determine which residues comprise a particular CDR given the variable region amino acid sequence of the antibody.

As used herein, the term “single-chain” refers to a molecule comprising amino acid monomers linearly linked by peptide bonds. In certain embodiments, one of the antigen-binding polypeptide constructs is a single-chain Fab molecule, i.e. a Fab molecule wherein the Fab light chain and the Fab heavy chain are connected by a peptide linker to form a single peptide chain. In a particular such embodiment, the C-terminus of the Fab light chain is connected to the N-terminus of the Fab heavy chain in the single-chain Fab molecule. In certain other embodiments, one of the antigen-binding polypeptide constructs is a single-chain Fv molecule (scFv). As described in more detail herein, an scFv has a variable domain of light chain (VL) connected from its C-terminus to the N-terminal end of a variable domain of heavy chain (VH) by a polypeptide chain. Alternately the scFv comprises of polypeptide chain where in the C-terminal end of the VH is connected to the N-terminal end of VL by a polypeptide chain.

Antigen-Binding Polypeptide Construct

The bispecific antigen-binding construct comprises two antigen-binding polypeptide constructs that each bind to a particular domain or epitope of HER2. In one embodiment, each antigen-binding polypeptide construct binds to an extracellular domain of HER2, e.g., ECD2, or ECD4. The antigen-binding polypeptide construct can be, e.g., a Fab, or an scFv, depending on the application.

The format of the bispecific antigen-binding construct determines the functional characteristics of the bispecific antigen-binding construct. In one embodiment, the bispecific antigen-binding construct has an scFv-Fab format (i.e. one antigen-binding polypeptide construct is an scFv and the other antigen-binding polypeptide construct is a Fab, also referred to as Fab-scFv format). In another embodiment, the bispecific antigen-binding construct has an scFv-scFv format (i.e. both antigen-binding polypeptide constructs are scFvs).

The “Fab fragment” (also referred to as fragment antigen-binding) contains the constant domain (CL) of the light chain and the first constant domain (CH1) of the heavy chain along with the variable domains VL and VH on the light and heavy chains respectively. The variable domains comprise the complementarity determining loops (CDR, also referred to as hypervariable region) that are involved in antigen-binding. Fab′ fragments differ from Fab fragments by the addition of a few residues at the carboxy terminus of the heavy chain CH1 domain including one or more cysteines from the antibody hinge region.

The “Single-chain Fv” or “scFv” includes the VH and VL domains of an antibody, wherein these domains are present in a single polypeptide chain. In one embodiment, the Fv polypeptide further comprises a polypeptide linker between the VH and VL domains which enables the scFv to form the desired structure for antigen-binding. For a review of scFv see Pluckthun in The Pharmacology of Monoclonal Antibodies, vol. 113, Rosenburg and Moore eds., Springer-Verlag, New York, pp. 269-315 (1994). HER2 antibody scFv fragments are described in WO93/16185; U.S. Pat. No. 5,571,894; and U.S. Pat. No. 5,587,458.

The “Single domain antibodies” or “sdAb” format is an individual immunoglobulin domain. Sdabs are fairly stable and easy to express as fusion partner with the Fc chain of an antibody (Harmsen M M, De Haard H J (2007). “Properties, production, and applications of camelid single-domain antibody fragments”. Appl. Microbiol Biotechnol. 77(1): 13-22).

Format and Function of Antigen-Binding Constructs

Provided herein are biparatopic HER2 antigen-binding constructs having two antigen-binding polypeptide constructs, the first of which specifically binds to HER2 ECD2, and the second of which specifically binds to HER2 ECD4. The format of the antigen-binding construct is such that at least one of the first or the second antigen-binding polypeptide is an scFv. The format of the antigen-binding construct may be scFv-scFv, or Fab-scFv or scFv-Fab (first antigen-binding polypeptide construct-second antigen-binding polypeptide respectively).

In certain embodiments, the antigen-binding constructs exhibit anti-tumor activities in vitro, such as (i) the ability to inhibit cancer cell growth both in the presence or absence of stimulation by epidermal growth factor or heregulin, (ii) the ability to be internalized in cancer cells (through binding to the HER2 antigen and causing it to be internalized) and (iii) the ability to mediate antibody-directed effector cell killing (ADCC). These in vitro activities are observed both with the naked antigen-binding construct, and with the antigen-binding construct conjugated to maytansine, and at varying levels of HER2 expression (1+, 2+ and 3+).

Examples herein show that the format (scFv/scFv, scFv/Fab or Fab/Fab) of the antigen-binding constructs is important in determining its functional profile. In certain embodiments, the anti-HER2 binding constructs exhibit an increased ability to be internalized by HER2-expressing tumor cells compared to a reference antigen-binding construct in which both the ECD2- and ECD4-binding polypeptide constructs are Fabs. It is contemplated that the degree of internalization of the anti-HER2 antigen-binding constructs can be further improved by increasing the affinity of one or both antigen-binding polypeptide construct for ECD2 or ECD4. One embodiment, in which both the ECD2 and ECD4-binding polypeptides are scFvs, is internalized to a greater extent by tumor cells expressing HER2 at a level of 1+, 2+ or 3+ than constructs of equivalent affinity that have a Fab/scFv format, which in turn are internalized more efficiently than constructs of equivalent affinity that have a Fab/Fab format. Embodiments that are readily internalized are good candidates for antibody-drug conjugates, which require internalization by a tumor cell to effect killing. Conversely, in certain embodiments, antigen-binding constructs which are not as readily internalized exhibit an increased potency in ADCC killing of tumor cells that express low levels of HER2 compared to constructs of equivalent affinity that have a Fab/Fab format. In one embodiment, an antigen-binding construct having a Fab/scFv format is more potent in ADCC killing of tumor cells expressing low levels of HER2 (HER2 0-1+ or 1+) than an anti-HER2 construct having a Fab/Fab format, which in turn is more potent than an antigen-binding construct having a scFv/scFv format. The enhanced ADCC potency of some embodiments may be due to 1) their increased ability to avidly bind cells with low HER2 receptor density and subsequently to cluster the HER2 receptor on the target cell surface and mediate downstream cell-mediated killing; and/or 2) their increased ability to remain on the cell surface (rather than causing internalization); hence they are more available for cell-mediated effector killing.

HER2

The antigen-binding constructs described herein have antigen-binding polypeptide constructs that bind to ECD2 and ECD4 of HER2.

The expressions “ErbB2” and “HER2” are used interchangeably herein and refer to human HER2 protein described, for example, in Semba et al., PNAS (USA) 82:6497-6501 (1985) and Yamamoto et al. Nature 319:230-234 (1986) (Genebank accession number X03363). The term “erbB2” and “neu” refers to the gene encoding human ErbB2 protein. p185 or p185neu refers to the protein product of the neu gene.

HER2 is a HER receptor. A “HER receptor” is a receptor protein tyrosine kinase which belongs to the human epidermal growth factor receptor (HER) family and includes EGFR, HER2, HER3 and HER4 receptors. A HER receptor will generally comprise an extracellular domain, which may bind an HER ligand; a lipophilic transmembrane domain; a conserved intracellular tyrosine kinase domain; and a carboxyl-terminal signaling domain harboring several tyrosine residues which can be phosphorylated. By “HER ligand” is meant a polypeptide which binds to and/or activates an HER receptor.

The extracellular (ecto) domain of HER2 comprises four domains, Domain I (ECD1, amino acid residues from about 1-195), Domain II (ECD2, amino acid residues from about 196-319), Domain III (ECD3, amino acid residues from about 320-488), and Domain IV (ECD4, amino acid residues from about 489-630) (residue numbering without signal peptide). See Garrett et al. Mol. Cell. 11: 495-505 (2003), Cho et al. Nature 421: 756-760 (2003), Franklin et al. Cancer Cell 5:317-328 (2004), Tse et al. Cancer Treat Rev. 2012 Apr;38(2):133-42 (2012), or Plowman et al. Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. 90:1746-1750 (1993).

The sequence of HER2 is as follows; ECD boundaries are Domain I: 1-165; Domain II: 166-322; Domain III: 323-488; Domain IV: 489-607.

The “epitope 2C4” is the region in the extracellular domain of HER2 to which the antibody 2C4 binds. Epitope 2C4 comprises residues from domain II in the extracellular domain of HER2. 2C4 and Pertuzumab bind to the extracellular domain of HER2 at the junction of domains I, II and III. Franklin et al. Cancer Cell 5:317-328 (2004). In order to screen for antibodies which bind to the 2C4 epitope, a routine cross-blocking assay such as that described in Antibodies, A Laboratory Manual, Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, Ed Harlow and David Lane (1988), can be performed. Alternatively, epitope mapping can be performed to assess whether the antibody binds to the 2C4 epitope of HER2 using methods known in the art and/or one can study the antibody-HER2 structure (Franklin et al. Cancer Cell 5:317-328 (2004)) to see what domain(s) of HER2 is/are bound by the antibody.

The “epitope 4D5” is the region in the extracellular domain of HER2 to which the antibody 4D5 (ATCC CRL 10463) and Trastuzumab bind. This epitope is close to the transmembrane domain of HER2, and within Domain IV of HER2. To screen for antibodies which bind to the 4D5 epitope, a routine cross-blocking assay such as that described in Antibodies, A Laboratory Manual, Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, Ed Harlow and David Lane (1988), can be performed. Alternatively, epitope mapping can be performed to assess whether the antibody binds to the 4D5 epitope of HER2 (e.g. any one or more residues in the region from about residue 529 to about residue 625, inclusive, see FIG. 1 of US Patent Publication No. 2006/0018899).

“Specifically binds”, “specific binding” or “selective binding” means that the binding is selective for the antigen and can be discriminated from unwanted or non-specific interactions. The ability of an antigen-binding construct to bind to a specific antigenic determinant can be measured either through an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) or other techniques familiar to one of skill in the art, e.g. surface plasmon resonance (SPR) technique (analyzed on a BIAcore instrument) (Liljeblad et al, Glyco J 17, 323-329 (2000)), and traditional binding assays (Heeley, Endocr Res 28, 217-229 (2002)). In one embodiment, the extent of binding of an antigen-binding moiety to an unrelated protein is less than about 10% of the binding of the antigen-binding construct to the antigen as measured, e.g., by SPR. In certain embodiments, an antigen-binding construct that binds to the antigen, or an antigen-binding molecule comprising that antigen-binding moiety, has a dissociation constant (K_(D)) of <1 μM, <100 nM, <10 nM, <1 nM, <0.1 nM, <0.01 nM, or <0.001 nM (e.g. 10^(˜8) M or less, e.g. from 10^(˜8) M to 10^(″13) M, e.g., from 10^(″9) M to 10^(″13) M).

“Heregulin” (HRG) when used herein refers to a polypeptide encoded by the heregulin gene product as disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 5,641,869 or Marchionni et al., Nature, 362:312-318 (1993). Examples of heregulins include heregulin-α, heregulin-β1, heregulin-β2 and heregulin-β3 (Holmes et al., Science, 256:1205-1210 (1992); and U.S. Pat. No. 5,641,869); neu differentiation factor (NDF) (Peles et al. Cell 69: 205-216 (1992)); acetylcholine receptor-inducing activity (ARIA) (Falls et al. Cell 72:801-815 (1993)); glial growth factors (GGFs) (Marchionni et al., Nature, 362:312-318 (1993)); sensory and motor neuron derived factor (SMDF) (Ho et al. J. Biol. Chem. 270:14523-14532 (1995)); γ-heregulin (Schaefer et al. Oncogene 15:1385-1394 (1997)). The term includes biologically active fragments and/or amino acid sequence variants of a native sequence HRG polypeptide, such as an EGF-like domain fragment thereof (e.g. HRGβ1177-244).

“HER activation” or “HER2 activation” refers to activation, or phosphorylation, of any one or more HER receptors, or HER2 receptors. Generally, HER activation results in signal transduction (e.g. that caused by an intracellular kinase domain of a HER receptor phosphorylating tyrosine residues in the HER receptor or a substrate polypeptide). HER activation may be mediated by HER ligand binding to a HER dimer comprising the HER receptor of interest. HER ligand binding to a HER dimer may activate a kinase domain of one or more of the HER receptors in the dimer and thereby results in phosphorylation of tyrosine residues in one or more of the HER receptors and/or phosphorylation of tyrosine residues in additional substrate polypeptides(s), such as Akt or MAPK intracellular kinases.

Derived Antigen-Binding Polypeptide Constructs

The antigen-binding polypeptide constructs can be derived from known anti-HER2 antibodies or anti-HER2 binding domains regardless of the type of domain. Examples of types of domains include Fab fragments, scFvs, and sdAbs. Furthermore, if the antigen-binding moieties of a known anti-HER2 antibody or binding domain is a Fab, the Fab can be converted to an scFv. Likewise, if the antigen-binding moiety of a known anti-HER2 antibody or binding domain is an scFv, the scFv can be converted to a Fab. Methods of converting between types of antigen-binding domains are known in the art (see for example methods for converting an scFv to a Fab format described at, e.g., Zhou et al (2012) Mol Cancer Ther 11:1167-1476. The methods described therein are incorporated by reference.).

The antigen-binding constructs described herein can be derived from known anti-HER2 antibodies that bind to ECD2 or ECD4. As described elsewhere herein, antibodies that bind to ECD2 or ECD4 are known in the art and include for example, 2C4 or pertuzumab (which bind ECD2), 4D5 or trastuzumab (which bind ECD4). Other antibodies that bind to ECD2 or ECD4 of HER2 have also been described in the art, for example in WO 2011/147982 (Genmab A/S).

In some embodiments the antigen-binding polypeptide construct of the antigen-binding construct is derived from an antibody that blocks by 50% or greater the binding of antibody 4D5 or trastuzumab to ECD4 of HER2. In some embodiments, the antigen-binding polypeptide construct of the antigen-binding construct is derived from an antibody that blocks by 50% or greater the binding of antibody 2C4 or pertuzumab to ECD2 of HER2. In some embodiment, the antigen-binding construct is derived from an antibody that blocks by 30% or greater the binding of antibody 2C4 or pertuzumab to ECD2 of HER2.

In one embodiment, the antigen-binding polypeptide construct is derived from a Fab fragment of trastuzumab or pertuzumab. In one embodiment, the antigen-binding polypeptide is derived from an scFv.

In certain embodiments the antigen-binding polypeptide is derived from humanized, or chimeric versions of these antibodies.

“Humanized” forms of non-human (e.g., rodent) antibodies are chimeric antibodies that contain minimal sequence derived from non-human immunoglobulin. For the most part, humanized antibodies are human immunoglobulins (recipient antibody) in which residues from a hypervariable region of the recipient are replaced by residues from a hypervariable region of a non-human species (donor antibody) such as mouse, rat, rabbit or nonhuman primate having the desired specificity, affinity, and capacity. In some instances, framework region (FR) residues of the human immunoglobulin are replaced by corresponding non-human residues. Furthermore, humanized antibodies may comprise residues that are not found in the recipient antibody or in the donor antibody. These modifications are made to further refine antibody performance. In general, the humanized antibody will comprise substantially all of at least one, and typically two, variable domains, in which all or substantially all of the hypervariable loops correspond to those of a non-human immunoglobulin and all or substantially all of the FRs are those of a human immunoglobulin sequence. The humanized antibody optionally also will comprise at least a portion of an immunoglobulin constant region (Fc), typically that of a human immunoglobulin. For further details, see Jones et al., Nature 321:522-525 (1986); Riechmann et al., Nature 332:323-329 (1988); and Presta, Curr. Op. Struct. Biol. 2:593-596 (1992).

Humanized HER2 antibodies include huMAb4D5-1, huMAb4D5-2, huMAb4D5-3, huMAb4D5-4, huMAb4D5-5, huMAb4D5-6, huMAb4D5-7 and huMAb4D5-8 or Trastuzumab (HERCEPTIN®) as described in Table 3 of U.S. Pat. No. 5,821,337 expressly incorporated herein by reference; humanized 520C9 (WO93/21319) and 20′ humanized 2C4 antibodies as described in US Patent Publication No. 2006/0018899.

Affinity Maturation

In some embodiments, the antigen-binding construct is derived from known HER2 binding antibodies using affinity maturation.

In instances where it is desirable to increase the affinity of the antigen-binding polypeptide for its cognate antigen, methods known in the art can be used to increase the affinity of the antigen-binding polypeptide for its antigen. Examples of such methods are described in the following references, Birtalan et al. (2008) JMB 377, 1518-1528; Gerstner et al. (2002) JMB 321, 851-862; Kelley et al. (1993) Biochem 32(27), 6828-6835; Li et al. (2010) JBC 285(6), 3865-3871, and Vajdos et al. (2002) JMB 320, 415-428.

One exemplary method for affinity maturation of HER2 antigen-binding domains is described as follows. Structures of the trastuzumab/HER2 (PDB code 1N8Z) complex and pertuzumab/HER2 complex (PDB code 1S78) are used for modeling. Molecular dynamics (MD) can be employed to evaluate the intrinsic dynamic nature of the WT complex in an aqueous environment. Mean field and dead-end elimination methods along with flexible backbones can be used to optimize and prepare model structures for the mutants to be screened. Following packing a number of features will be scored including contact density, clash score, hydrophobicity and electrostatics. Generalized Born method will allow accurate modeling of the effect of solvent environment and compute the free energy differences following mutation of specific positions in the protein to alternate residue types. Contact density and clash score will provide a measure of complementarity, a critical aspect of effective protein packing. The screening procedure employs knowledge-based potentials as well as coupling analysis schemes relying on pair-wise residue interaction energy and entropy computations. Literature mutations known to enhance HER2 binding, and combinations of thereof are summarized in the following tables:

Fc of Antigen-Binding Constructs.

In some embodiments, the antigen-binding constructs described herein comprise an Fc, e.g., a dimeric Fc.

The term “Fc domain” or “Fc region” herein is used to define a C-terminal region of an immunoglobulin heavy chain that contains at least a portion of the constant region. The term includes native sequence Fc regions and variant Fc regions. Unless otherwise specified herein, numbering of amino acid residues in the Fc region or constant region is according to the EU numbering system, also called the EU index, as described in Kabat et al, Sequences of Proteins of Immunological Interest, 5th Ed. Public Health Service, National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, Md., 1991. An “Fc polypeptide” of a dimeric Fc as used herein refers to one of the two polypeptides forming the dimeric Fc domain, i.e. a polypeptide comprising C-terminal constant regions of an immunoglobulin heavy chain, capable of stable self-association. For example, an Fc polypeptide of a dimeric IgG Fc comprises an IgG CH2 and an IgG CH3 constant domain sequence.

An Fc domain comprises either a CH3 domain or a CH3 and a CH2 domain. The CH3 domain comprises two CH3 sequences, one from each of the two Fc polypeptides of the dimeric Fc. The CH2 domain comprises two CH2 sequences, one from each of the two Fc polypeptides of the dimeric Fc.

In some aspects, the Fc comprises at least one or two CH3 sequences. In some aspects, the Fc is coupled, with or without one or more linkers, to a first antigen-binding construct and/or a second antigen-binding construct. In some aspects, the Fc is a human Fc. In some aspects, the Fc is a human IgG or IgG1 Fc. In some aspects, the Fc is a heterodimeric Fc. In some aspects, the Fc comprises at least one or two CH2 sequences.

In some aspects, the Fc comprises one or more modifications in at least one of the CH3 sequences. In some aspects, the Fc comprises one or more modifications in at least one of the CH2 sequences. In some aspects, an Fc is a single polypeptide. In some aspects, an Fc is multiple peptides, e.g., two polypeptides.

In some aspects, an Fc is an Fc described in patent applications PCT/CA2011/001238, filed Nov. 4, 2011 or PCT/CA2012/050780, filed Nov. 2, 2012, the entire disclosure of each of which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety for all purposes.

Modified CH3 Domains

In some aspects, the antigen-binding construct described herein comprises a heterodimeric Fc comprising a modified CH3 domain that has been asymmetrically modified. The heterodimeric Fc can comprise two heavy chain constant domain polypeptides: a first Fc polypeptide and a second Fc polypeptide, which can be used interchangeably provided that Fc comprises one first Fc polypeptide and one second Fc polypeptide. Generally, the first Fc polypeptide comprises a first CH3 sequence and the second Fc polypeptide comprises a second CH3 sequence.

Two CH3 sequences that comprise one or more amino acid modifications introduced in an asymmetric fashion generally results in a heterodimeric Fc, rather than a homodimer, when the two CH3 sequences dimerize. As used herein, “asymmetric amino acid modifications” refers to any modification where an amino acid at a specific position on a first CH3 sequence is different from the amino acid on a second CH3 sequence at the same position, and the first and second CH3 sequence preferentially pair to form a heterodimer, rather than a homodimer. This heterodimerization can be a result of modification of only one of the two amino acids at the same respective amino acid position on each sequence; or modification of both amino acids on each sequence at the same respective position on each of the first and second CH3 sequences. The first and second CH3 sequence of a heterodimeric Fc can comprise one or more than one asymmetric amino acid modification.

Table A provides the amino acid sequence of the human IgG1 Fc sequence, corresponding to amino acids 231 to 447 of the full-length human IgG1 heavy chain. The CH3 sequence comprises amino acid 341-447 of the full-length human IgG1 heavy chain.

Typically an Fc can include two contiguous heavy chain sequences (A and B) that are capable of dimerizing. In some aspects, one or both sequences of an Fc include one or more mutations or modifications at the following locations: L351, F405, Y407, T366, K392, T394, T350, S400, and/or N390, using EU numbering. In some aspects, an Fc includes a mutant sequence shown in Table X. In some aspects, an Fc includes the mutations of Variant 1 A-B. In some aspects, an Fc includes the mutations of Variant 2 A-B. In some aspects, an Fc includes the mutations of Variant 3 A-B. In some aspects, an Fc includes the mutations of Variant 4 A-B. In some aspects, an Fc includes the mutations of Variant 5 A-B.

The one or more asymmetric amino acid modifications can promote the formation of a heterodimeric Fc in which the heterodimeric CH3 domain has a stability that is comparable to a wild-type homodimeric CH3 domain. In an embodiment, the one or more asymmetric amino acid modifications promote the formation of a heterodimeric Fc domain in which the heterodimeric Fc domain has a stability that is comparable to a wild-type homodimeric Fc domain. In an embodiment, the one or more asymmetric amino acid modifications promote the formation of a heterodimeric Fc domain in which the heterodimeric Fc domain has a stability observed via the melting temperature (Tm) in a differential scanning calorimetry study, and where the melting temperature is within 4° C. of that observed for the corresponding symmetric wild-type homodimeric Fc domain.

In some aspects, the Fc is a heterodimer formed with a purity greater than about 75, 76, 77, 78, 79, 80, 81, 82, 83, 84, 85, 86, 87, 88, 89, 90, 91, 92, 93, 94, 95, 96, 97, 98, or 99% when expressed via a single cell.

Proc Natl Acad Sci USA. 2013 Mar. 26; 110(13):5145-50.

CH2 Domains

In some embodiments, the Fc of the antigen-binding construct comprises a CH2 domain. One example of an CH2 domain of an Fc is amino acid 231-340 of the sequence shown in Table A. Several effector functions are mediated by Fc receptors (FcRs), which bind to the Fc of an antibody.

The terms “Fc receptor” and “FcR” are used to describe a receptor that binds to the Fc region of an antibody. For example, an FcR can be a native sequence human FcR. Generally, an FcR is one which binds an IgG antibody (a gamma receptor) and includes receptors of the FcγRl, FcγRII, and FcγRIII subclasses, including allelic variants and alternatively spliced forms of these receptors. FcγRII receptors include FcγRIIA (an “activating receptor”) and FcγRIIB (an “inhibiting receptor”), which have similar amino acid sequences that differ primarily in the cytoplasmic domains thereof. Immunoglobulins of other isotypes can also be bound by certain FcRs (see, e.g., Janeway et al., Immuno Biology: the immune system in health and disease, (Elsevier Science Ltd., NY) (4th ed., 1999)). Activating receptor FcγRIIA contains an immunoreceptor tyrosine-based activation motif (ITAM) in its cytoplasmic domain. Inhibiting receptor FcγRIIB contains an immunoreceptor tyrosine-based inhibition motif (ITIM) in its cytoplasmic domain (reviewed in Daeron, Annu. Rev. Immunol. 15:203-234 (1997)). FcRs are reviewed in Ravetch and Kinet, Annu. Rev. Immunol 9:457-92 (1991); Capel et al., Immunomethods 4:25-34 (1994); and de Haas et al., J. Lab. Clin. Med. 126:330-41 (1995). Other FcRs, including those to be identified in the future, are encompassed by the term “FcR” herein. The term also includes the neonatal receptor, FcRn, which is responsible for the transfer of maternal IgGs to the fetus (Guyer et al., J. Immunol. 117:587 (1976); and Kim et al., J. Immunol. 24:249 (1994)).

Modifications in the CH2 domain can affect the binding of FcRs to the Fc. A number of amino acid modifications in the Fc region are known in the art for selectively altering the affinity of the Fc for different Fcgamma receptors. In some aspects, the Fc comprises one or more modifications to promote selective binding of Fc-gamma receptors.

Exemplary mutations that alter the binding of Fcrs to the Fc are listed below:

In some embodiments an antigen-binding construct described herein comprises an antigen-binding polypeptide construct which binds an antigen; and a dimeric Fc that has superior biophysical properties like stability and ease of manufacture relative to an antigen-binding construct which does not include the same dimeric Fc. In some embodiments a CH2 domain comprises one or more asymmetric amino acid modifications. Exemplary asymmetric mutations are described in International Patent Application No. PCT/CA2014/050507.

Additional Modifications to Improve Effector Function.

In some embodiments an antigen-binding construct described herein includes modifications to improve its ability to mediate effector function. Such modifications are known in the art and include afucosylation, or engineering of the affinity of the Fc towards an activating receptor, mainly FCGR3a for ADCC, and towards C1q for CDC. The following Table B summarizes various designs reported in the literature for effector function engineering.

Methods of producing antigen-binding constructs with little or no fucose on the Fc glycosylation site (Asn 297 EU numbering) without altering the amino acid sequence are well known in the art. The GlymaX® technology (ProBioGen AG) is based on the introduction of a gene for an enzyme which deflects the cellular pathway of fucose biosynthesis into cells used for antigen-binding construct production. This prevents the addition of the sugar “fucose” to the N-linked antibody carbohydrate part by antigen-binding construct-producing cells. (von Horsten et al. (2010) Glycobiology. 2010 December; 20 (12):1607-18. Another approach to obtaining antigen-binding constructs with lowered levels of fucosylation can be found in U.S. Pat. No. 8,409,572, which teaches selecting cell lines for antigen-binding construct production for their ability to yield lower levels of fucosylation on antigen-binding constructs Antigen-binding constructs can be fully afucosylated (meaning they contain no detectable fucose) or they can be partially afucosylated, meaning that the isolated antibody contains less than 95%, less than 85%, less than 75%, less than 65%, less than 55%, less than 45%, less than 35%, less than 25%, less than 15% or less than 5% of the amount of fucose normally detected for a similar antibody produced by a mammalian expression system.

Thus, in one embodiment, a construct described herein can include a dimeric Fc that comprises one or more amino acid modifications as noted in Table B that confer improved effector function. In another embodiment, the construct can be afucosylated to improve effector function.

Fc modifications reducing FcγR and/or complement binding and/or effector function are known in the art. Recent publications describe strategies that have been used to engineer antibodies with reduced or silenced effector activity (see Strohl, W R (2009), Curr Opin Biotech 20:685-691, and Strohl, W R and Strohl L M, “Antibody Fc engineering for optimal antibody performance” In Therapeutic Antibody Engineering, Cambridge: Woodhead Publishing (2012), pp 225-249). These strategies include reduction of effector function through modification of glycosylation, use of IgG2/IgG4 scaffolds, or the introduction of mutations in the hinge or CH2 regions of the Fc. For example, US Patent Publication No. 2011/0212087 (Strohl), International Patent Publication No. WO 2006/105338 (Xencor), US Patent Publication No. 2012/0225058 (Xencor), US Patent Publication No. 2012/0251531 (Genentech), and Strop et al ((2012) J. Mol. Biol. 420: 204-219) describe specific modifications to reduce FcγR or complement binding to the Fc.

Specific, non-limiting examples of known amino acid modifications to reduce FcγR or complement binding to the Fc include those identified in the following table:

In one embodiment, the Fc comprises at least one amino acid modification identified in the above table. In another embodiment the Fc comprises amino acid modification of at least one of L234, L235, or D265. In another embodiment, the Fc comprises amino acid modification at L234, L235 and D265. In another embodiment, the Fc comprises the amino acid modification L234A, L235A and D265S.

Linkers and Linker Polypeptides

Each of the antigen-binding polypeptide constructs of the antigen-binding construct are operatively linked to a linker polypeptide wherein the linker polypeptides are capable of forming a covalent linkage with each other. The spatial conformation of the antigen-binding construct comprising a first and second antigen-binding polypeptide constructs with the linker polypeptides is similar to the relative spatial conformation of the paratopes of a F(ab′)2 fragment generated by papain digestion, albeit in the context of the bispecific antigen-binding constructs described herein, the two antigen-binding polypeptide constructs are in the Fab-scFv or scFv-scFv format.

Thus, the linker polypeptides are selected such that they maintain the relative spatial conformation of the paratopes of a F(ab′) fragment, and are capable of forming a covalent bond equivalent of the disulphide bond in the core hinge of IgG. Suitable linker polypeptides include IgG hinge regions such as, for example those from IgG1, IgG2, or IgG4. Modified versions of these exemplary linkers can also be used. For example, modifications to improve the stability of the IgG4 hinge are known in the art (see for example, Labrijn et al. (2009) Nature Biotechnology 27, 767-771).

In one embodiment, the linker polypeptides are operatively linked to a scaffold as described here, for example an Fc. In some aspects, an Fc is coupled to the one or more antigen-binding polypeptide constructs with one or more linkers. In some aspects, Fc is coupled to the heavy chain of each antigen-binding polypeptide by a linker.

In other embodiments, the linker polypeptides are operatively linked to scaffolds other than an Fc. A number of alternate protein or molecular domains are know in the art and can be used to form selective pairs of two different antigen-binding polypeptides. An example is the leucine zipper domains such as Fos and Jun that selectively pair together [S A Kostelny, M S Cole, and J Y Tso. Formation of a bispecific antibody by the use of leucine zippers. J Immunol 1992 148:1547-53; Bernd J. Wranik, Erin L. Christensen, Gabriele Schaefer, Janet K. Jackman, Andrew C. Vendel, and Dan Eaton. LUZ-Y, a Novel Platform for the Mammalian Cell Production of Full-length IgG-bispecific AntibodiesJ. Biol. Chem. 2012 287: 43331-43339]. Alternately, other selectively pairing molecular pairs such as the barnase barstar pair [Deyev, S. M., Waibel, R., Lebedenko, E. N., Schubiger, A. P., and Plückthun, A. (2003). Design of multivalent complexes using the barnase*barstar module. Nat Biotechnol 21, 1486-1492], DNA strand pairs [Zahida N. Chaudri, Michael Bartlet-Jones, George Panayotou, Thomas Klonisch, Ivan M. Roitt, Torben Lund, Peter J. Delves, Dual specificity antibodies using a double-stranded oligonucleotide bridge, FEBS Letters, Volume 450, Issues 1-2, 30 Apr. 1999, Pages 23-26], split fluorescent protein pairs [Ulrich Brinkmann, Alexander Haas. Fluorescent antibody fusion protein, its production and use, WO 2011135040 A1] can also be employed.

Dissociation Constant (K_(D)) and Maximal Binding (Bmax)

In some embodiments, an antigen-binding construct is described by functional characteristics including but not limited to a dissociation constant and a maximal binding.

The term “dissociation constant (K_(D))” as used herein, is intended to refer to the equilibrium dissociation constant of a particular ligand-protein interaction. As used herein, ligand-protein interactions refer to, but are not limited to protein-protein interactions or antibody-antigen interactions. The K_(D) measures the propensity of two proteins (e.g. AB) to dissociate reversibly into smaller components (A+B), and is define as the ratio of the rate of dissociation, also called the “off-rate (k_(off))”, to the association rate, or “on-rate (k_(on))”. Thus, K_(D) equals k_(off)/k_(on) and is expressed as a molar concentration (M). It follows that the smaller the K_(D), the stronger the affinity of binding. Therefore, a K_(D) of 1 mM indicates weak binding affinity compared to a K_(D) of 1 nM. K_(D) values for antigen-binding constructs can be determined using methods well established in the art. One method for determining the K_(D) of an antigen-binding construct is by using surface plasmon resonance (SPR), typically using a biosensor system such as a Biacore® system. Isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC) is another method that can be used to determine.

The binding characteristics of an antigen-binding construct can be determined by various techniques. One of which is the measurement of binding to target cells expressing the antigen by flow cytometry (FACS, Fluorescence-activated cell sorting). Typically, in such an experiment, the target cells expressing the antigen of interest are incubated with antigen-binding constructs at different concentrations, washed, incubated with a secondary agent for detecting the antigen-binding construct, washed, and analyzed in the flow cytometer to measure the median fluorescent intensity (MFI) representing the strength of detection signal on the cells, which in turn is related to the number of antigen-binding constructs bound to the cells. The antigen-binding construct concentration vs. MFI data is then fitted into a saturation binding equation to yield two key binding parameters, Bmax and apparent K_(D).

Apparent K_(D), or apparent equilibrium dissociation constant, represents the antigen-binding construct concentration at which half maximal cell binding is observed. Evidently, the smaller the K_(D) value, the smaller antigen-binding construct concentration is required to reach maximum cell binding and thus the higher is the affinity of the antigen-binding construct. The apparent K_(D) is dependent on the conditions of the cell binding experiment, such as different receptor levels expressed on the cells and incubation conditions, and thus the apparent K_(D) is generally different from the K_(D) values determined from cell-free molecular experiments such as SPR and ITC. However, there is generally good agreement between the different methods.

The term “Bmax”, or maximal binding, refers to the maximum antigen-binding construct binding level on the cells at saturating concentrations of antigen-binding construct. This parameter can be reported in the arbitrary unit MFI for relative comparison, or converted into an absolute value corresponding to the number of antigen-binding constructs bound to the cell with the use of a standard curve. In some embodiments, the antigen-binding constructs display a Bmax that is 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, 1.4, 1.5, 1.6, 1.7, 1.8, 1.9, or 2.0 times the Bmax of a reference antigen-binding construct.

For the antigen-binding constructs described herein, the clearest separation in Bmax versus FSA occurs at saturating concentrations and where Bmax can no longer be increased with a FSA. The significance is less at non-saturating concentrations. In one embodiment the increase in Bmax and KD of the antigen-binding construct compared to a reference antigen-binding construct is independent of the level of target antigen expression on the target cell.

In some embodiments is an isolated antigen-binding construct described herein, wherein said antigen-binding construct displays an increase in Bmax (maximum binding) to a target cell displaying said antigen as compared to a corresponding reference antigen-binding construct. In some embodiments said increase in Bmax is at least about 125% of the Bmax of the corresponding reference antigen-binding construct. In certain embodiments, the increase in Bmax is at least about 150% of the Bmax of the corresponding reference antigen-binding construct. In some embodiments, the increase in Bmax is at least about 200% of the Bmax of the corresponding reference antigen-binding construct. In some embodiments, the increase in Bmax is greater than about 110% of the Bmax of the corresponding reference antigen-binding construct.

Increased Effector Functions

In one embodiment, the bispecific antigen-binding construct described herein displays increased effector functions compared to each corresponding monospecific bivalent antigen-binding construct (i.e., compared to a monospecific bivalent antigen-binding construct that binds to ECD2 or a monospecific bivalent antigen-binding construct that binds to ECD4) and/or compared to a combination the two monospecific bivalent antigen-binding constructs. Antibody “effector functions” refer to those biological activities attributable to the Fc domain (a native sequence Fc domain or amino acid sequence variant Fc domain) of an antibody. Examples of antibody effector functions include C1q binding; complement dependent cytotoxicity (CDC); Fc receptor binding; antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity (ADCC); antibody dependent cellular phagocytosis (ADCP); down regulation of cell surface receptors (e.g. B cell receptor; BCR), etc.

ADCC

Thus, in one embodiment, the bispecific antigen-binding construct is in a Fab-scFv format and displays a higher potency in an ADCC assay than a format reference antigen-binding construct that is in a Fab-Fab format in cells expressing HER2 at the 1+ level.

In one embodiment, the bispecific antigen-binding construct displays greater maximum cell lysis in an ADCC assay than a reference antigen-binding construct that is trastuzumab or analog thereof. In one embodiment, the bispecific antigen-binding construct is in a Fab-scFv format and displays greater maximum cell lysis in an ADCC assay than a reference antigen-binding construct that is trastuzumab or analog thereof, or a combination of trastuzumab or pertuzumab analogs. In one embodiment, the bispecific antigen-binding construct is in a Fab-scFv format and displays greater maximum cell lysis in an ADCC assay than a reference antigen-binding construct that is trastuzumab or analog thereof in cells expressing HER2 at the 1+ or greater level. In one embodiment, the bispecific antigen-binding construct is in a Fab-scFv format and displays a higher potency in an ADCC assay than a reference antigen-binding construct that is trastuzumab or analog thereof in HER2 2+/3+ cells.

Internalization

The bispecific antigen-binding constructs described herein are internalized in HER2+ cells, through binding to the receptor HER2. Thus, the bispecific antigen-binding constructs described herein are able to induce receptor internalization in HER2+ cells. In one embodiment, the bispecific antigen-binding construct is in a Fab-scFv format and induces greater HER2 internalization than a format reference antigen-binding construct that is in a Fab-Fab format in cells expressing HER2 at the 3+ level. In one embodiment, the bispecific antigen-binding construct is in a Fab-scFv format and induces greater HER2 internalization than a format reference antigen-binding construct that is in a Fab-Fab format in cells expressing HER2 at the 2+ or 3+ level. In one embodiment, the bispecific antigen-binding construct is in an scFv-scFv format and induces greater HER2 internalization than a format reference antigen-binding construct that is in a Fab-Fab format in cells expressing HER2 at the 1+, 2+ or 3+ level.

Cellular Cytotoxicity

The bispecific antigen-binding construct can be prepared as ADCs as described elsewhere herein and are cytotoxic to cells. In one embodiment, the bispecific antigen-binding construct ADC is displays a higher potency in a cytotoxicity or cell survival assay in HER2+ breast cancer cells than a reference antigen-binding construct that is trastuzumab or analog thereof, or a reference antigen-binding construct that is a combination of T-DM1 and pertuzumab in HER2 1+, 2+, 2+/3+, or 3+ cells.

Increased Binding Capacity to FcγRs

In some embodiments, the bispecific antigen-binding constructs exhibit a higher binding capacity (Rmax) to one or more FcγRs. In one embodiment the bispecific antigen-binding construct exhibits an increase in Rmax to one or more FcγRs over a reference antigen-binding construct that is v506 or v6246, having a homodimeric Fc, of between about 1.3- to 2-fold. In one embodiment, the bispecific antigen-binding construct exhibits an increase in Rmax to a CD16 FcγR of between about 1.3- to 1.8-fold over the reference bivalent antigen-binding construct. In one embodiment, the bispecific antigen-binding construct exhibits an increase in Rmax to a CD32 FcγR of between about 1.3- to 1.8-fold over the reference bivalent antigen-binding construct. In one embodiment, the bispecific antigen-binding construct exhibits an increase in Rmax to a CD64 FcγR of between about 1.3- to 1.8-fold over the reference bivalent antigen-binding construct.

Increased Affinity for FcγRs

The bispecific antigen-binding constructs provided herein have an increased affinity for FcγR as compared to reference antigen-binding construct such as trastuzumab. The increased Fc concentration resulting from the binding is consistent with increased ADCC, and/or other immune effector killing mechanisms.

In some embodiments, the bispecific antigen-binding constructs exhibit an increased affinity for one or more FcγRs. In one embodiment, where the bispecific antigen-binding construct comprises an antigen-binding polypeptide that binds to HER2, the bispecific antigen-binding constructs exhibit an increased affinity for at least one FcγR. In accordance with this embodiment, the bispecific antigen-binding construct exhibits an increased affinity for CD32.

FcRn Binding and PK Parameters

In some embodiments, the antigen-binding constructs of the described herein are able to bind FcRn. As is known in the art, binding to FcRn recycles endocytosed antibody from the endosome back to the bloodstream (Raghavan et al., 1996, Annu Rev Cell Dev Biol 12:181-220; Ghetie et al., 2000, Annu Rev Immunol 18:739-766). This process, coupled with preclusion of kidney filtration due to the large size of the full-length molecule, results in favorable antibody serum half-lives ranging from one to three weeks. Binding of Fc to FcRn also plays a key role in antibody transport.

Pharmacokinetic Parameters

In certain embodiments, a bispecific antigen-binding construct provided herein exhibits pharmacokinetic (PK) properties comparable with commercially available therapeutic antibodies. In one embodiment, the bispecific antigen-binding constructs described herein exhibit PK properties similar to known therapeutic antibodies, with respect to serum concentration, t1/2, beta half-life, and/or CL. In one embodiment, the bispecific antigen-binding constructs display in vivo stability comparable to or greater than said monospecific bivalent antigen-binding construct. Such in vivo stability parameters include serum concentration, t1/2, beta half-life, and/or CL.

Testing of the Bispecific Antigen-Binding Constructs. FcγR, FcRn and C1q Binding

The effector functions of the bispecific antigen-binding constructs can be tested as follows. In vitro and/or in vivo cytotoxicity assays can be conducted to assess ADCP, CDC and/or ADCC activities. For example, Fc receptor (FcR) binding assays can be conducted to measure FcγR binding. The primary cells for mediating ADCC, NK cells, express FcγRIII only, whereas monocytes express FcγRI, FcγRII and FcγRIII. FcR expression on hematopoietic cells is summarized in Table 3 on page 464 of Ravetch and Kinet, Annu. Rev. Immunol 9:457-92 (1991). An example of an in vitro assay to assess ADCC activity of a molecule of interest is described in U.S. Pat. No. 5,500,362 or 5,821,337. Useful effector cells for such assays include peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) and Natural Killer (NK) cells. Alternatively, or additionally, ADCC activity of the molecule of interest may be assessed in vivo, e.g., in a animal model such as that disclosed in Clynes et al. PNAS (USA) 95:652-656 (1998). C1q binding assays may also be carried out to determine if the bispecific antigen-binding constructs are capable of binding C1q and hence activating CDC. To assess complement activation, a CDC assay, e.g. as described in Gazzano-Santoro et al., J. Immunol. Methods 202:163 (1996), may be performed. FcRn binding such as by SPR and in vivo PK determinations of antibodies can also be performed using methods well known in the art.

Testing of Antigen-Binding Constructs: HER2 Binding

The antigen-binding constructs or pharmaceutical compositions described herein are tested in vitro, and then in vivo for the desired therapeutic or prophylactic activity, prior to use in humans. For example, in vitro assays to demonstrate the therapeutic or prophylactic utility of a compound or pharmaceutical composition include, the effect of a compound on a cell line or a patient tissue sample. The effect of the compound or composition on the cell line and/or tissue sample can be determined utilizing techniques known to those of skill in the art including, but not limited to, rosette formation assays and cell lysis assays. In accordance with the invention, in vitro assays which can be used to determine whether administration of a specific antigen-binding construct is indicated, include in vitro cell culture assays, or in vitro assays in which a patient tissue sample is grown in culture, and exposed to or otherwise administered antigen-binding construct, and the effect of such antigen-binding construct upon the tissue sample is observed.

Candidate antigen-binding constructs can be assayed using cells, e.g., breast cancer cell lines, expressing HER2. The following Table D describes the expression level of HER2 in several representative cancer cell lines.

As is known in the art, a number of assays may be employed in order to identify antigen-binding constructs suitable for use in the methods described herein. These assays can be carried out in cancer cells expressing HER2. Examples of suitable cancer cells are identified in Table A5. Examples of assays that may be carried out are described as follows.

For example, to identify growth inhibitory candidate antigen-binding constructs that bind HER2, one may screen for antibodies which inhibit the growth of cancer cells which express HER2. In one embodiment, the candidate antigen-binding construct of choice is able to inhibit growth of cancer cells in cell culture by about 20-100% and preferably by about 50-100% at compared to a control antigen-binding construct.

To select for candidate antigen-binding constructs which induce cell death, loss of membrane integrity as indicated by, e.g., PI (phosphatidylinositol), trypan blue or 7AAD uptake may be assessed relative to control.

In order to select for candidate antigen-binding constructs which induce apoptosis, an annexin binding assay may be employed. In addition to the annexin binding assay, a DNA staining assay may also be used.

In one embodiment, the candidate antigen-binding construct of interest may block heregulin dependent association of ErbB2 with ErbB3 in both MCF7 and SK-BR-3 cells as determined in a co-immunoprecipitation experiment substantially more effectively than monoclonal antibody 4D5, and preferably substantially more effectively than monoclonal antibody 7F3.

To screen for antigen-binding constructs which bind to an epitope on ErbB2 bound by an antibody of interest, a routine cross-blocking assay such as that described in Antibodies, A Laboratory Manual, Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, Ed Harlow and David Lane (1988), can be performed. Alternatively, or additionally, epitope mapping can be performed by methods known in the art.

Competition between antigen-binding constructs can be determined by an assay in which an antigen-binding construct under test inhibits or blocks specific binding of a reference antigen-binding construct to a common antigen (see, e.g., Junghans et al., Cancer Res. 50:1495, 1990; Fendly et al. Cancer Research 50: 1550-1558; U.S. Pat. No. 6,949,245). A test antigen-binding construct competes with a reference antigen-binding construct if an excess of a test antigen-binding construct (e.g., at least 2×, 5×, 10×, 20×, or 100×) inhibits or blocks binding of the reference antigen-binding construct by, e.g., at least 50%, 60%, 70%, 75%, 80%, 85%, 90%, 95%, or 99% as measured in a competitive binding assay. Antigen-binding constructs identified by competition assay (competing antigen-binding construct) include antigen-binding constructs binding to the same epitope as the reference antigen-binding construct and antigen-binding constructs binding to an adjacent epitope sufficiently proximal to the epitope bound by the reference antigen-binding construct for steric hindrance to occur. For example, a second, competing antigen-binding construct can be identified that competes for binding to HER2 with a first antigen-binding construct described herein. In certain instances, the second construct can block or inhibit binding of the first construct by, e.g., at least 50%, 60%, 70%, 75%, 80%, 85%, 90%, 95%, or 99% as measured in a competitive binding assay. In certain instances, the second construct can displace the first construct by greater than 50%, 60%, 70%, 75%, 80%, 85%, 90%, 95%, or 99%.

In some embodiments, antigen-binding constructs described herein are assayed for function in vivo, e.g., in animal models. In some embodiments, the animal models are those described in Table E. In some embodiments, the antigen-binding constructs display an increase in efficacy of treatment in an animal model compared to a reference antigen-binding construct.

Reference Antigen-Binding Construct

In some embodiments, the functional characteristics of the bispecific antigen-binding constructs described herein are compared to those of a reference antigen-binding construct. The identity of the reference antigen-binding construct depends on the functional characteristic being measured or the distinction being made. For example, when comparing the functional characteristics of exemplary bispecific antigen-binding constructs, the reference antigen-binding construct may be a trastuzumab analog such as, for example v506, or may be a combination of antibodies such as trastuzumab and pertuzumab (v4184). In embodiments where the format of the bispecific antigen-binding construct is being compared, the reference antigen-binding construct is, e.g., a biparatopic anti-HER2 antibody where both antigen-binding moieties are in the Fab-Fab format (format reference antigen-binding construct). Examples of the latter construct include v6902 and v6903.

Antigen-Binding Constructs and Antibody Drug Conjugates (ADC)

In certain embodiments an antigen-binding construct is conjugated to a drug, e.g., a toxin, a chemotherapeutic agent, an immune modulator, or a radioisotope. Several methods of preparing ADCs (antibody drug conjugates or antigen-binding construct drug conjugates) are known in the art and are described in U.S. Pat. No. 8,624,003 (pot method), U.S. Pat. No. 8,163,888 (one-step), and U.S. Pat. No. 5,208,020 (two-step method) for example.

In some embodiments, the drug is selected from a maytansine, auristatin, calicheamicin, or derivative thereof. In other embodiments, the drug is a maytansine selected from DM1 and DM4. Further examples are described below.

In some embodiments the drug is conjugated to the isolated antigen-binding construct with an SMCC linker (DM1), or an SPDB linker (DM4). Additional examples are described below. The drug-to-antigen-binding protein ratio (DAR) can be, e.g., 1.0 to 6.0 or 3.0 to 5.0 or 3.5-4.2.

In some embodiments the antigen-binding construct is conjugated to a cytotoxic agent. The term “cytotoxic agent” as used herein refers to a substance that inhibits or prevents the function of cells and/or causes destruction of cells. The term is intended to include radioactive isotopes (e.g. At211, I131, I125, Y90, Re186, Re188, Sm153, Bi212, P32, and Lu177), chemotherapeutic agents, and toxins such as small molecule toxins or enzymatically active toxins of bacterial, fungal, plant or animal origin, including fragments and/or variants thereof. Further examples are described below.

Drugs

Non-limiting examples of drugs or payloads used in various embodiments of ADCs include DM1 (maytansine, N2′-deacetyl-N2′-(3-mercapto-1-oxopropyl)- or N2′-deacetyl-N2′-(3-mercapto-1-oxopropyl)-maytansine), mc-MMAD (6-maleimidocaproyl-monomethylauristatin-D or N-methyl-L-valyl-N-[(1S,2R)-2-methoxy-4-[(2S)-2-[(1R,2R)-1-methoxy-2-methyl-3-oxo-3-[[(1S)-2-phenyl-1-(2-thiazolyl)ethyl]amino]propyl]-1-pyrrolidinyl]-1-[(1S)-1-methylpropyl]-4-oxobutyl]-N-methyl-(9Cl)-L-valinamide), mc-MMAF (maleimidocaproyl-monomethylauristatin F or N-[6-(2,5-dihydro-2,5-dioxo-1H-pyrrol-1-yl)-1-oxohexyl]-N-methyl-L-valyl-L-valyl-(3R,4S,5S)-3-methoxy-5-methyl-4-(methylamino)heptanoyl-(αR,βR,2S)-β-methoxy-α-methyl-2-pyrrolidinepropanoyl-L-phenylalanine) and mc-Val-Cit-PABA-MMAE (6-maleimidocaproyl-ValcCit-(p-aminobenzyloxycarbonyl)-monomethylauristatin E or N-[[[4-[[N-[6-(2,5-dihydro-2,5-dioxo-1H-pyrrol-1-yl)-1-oxohexyl]-L-valyl-N5-(aminocarbonyl)-L-ornithyl]amino]phenyl]methoxy]carbonyl]-N-methyl-L-valyl-N-[(1S,2R)-4-[(2S)-2-[(1R,2R)-3-[[(1R,2S)-2-hydroxy-1-methyl-2-phenylethyl]amino]-1-methoxy-2-methyl-3-oxopropyl]-1-pyrrolidinyl]-2-methoxy-1-[(1S)-1-methylpropyl]-4-oxobutyl]-N-methyl-L-valinamide). DM1 is a derivative of the tubulin inhibitor maytansine while MMAD, MMAE, and MMAF are auristatin derivatives.

Maytansinoid Drug Moieties

As indicated above, in some embodiments the drug is a maytansinoid. Exemplary maytansinoids include DM1, DM3 (N^(2′)-deacetyl-N^(2′)-(4-mercapto-1-oxopentyl)maytansine), and DM4 (N^(2′)-deacetyl-N^(2′)-(4-methyl-4-mercapto-1-oxopentyl)methylmaytansine) (see US20090202536).

Many positions on maytansine compounds are known to be useful as the linkage position, depending upon the type of link. For example, for forming an ester linkage, the C-3 position having a hydroxyl group, the C-14 position modified with hydroxymethyl, the C-15 position modified with a hydroxyl group and the C-20 position having a hydroxyl group are all suitable.

All stereoisomers of the maytansinoid drug moiety are contemplated for the ADCs described herein, i.e. any combination of R and S configurations at the chiral carbons of D.

Auristatins

In some embodiments, the drug is an auristatin, such as auristatin E (also known in the art as a derivative of dolastatin-10) or a derivative thereof. The auristatin can be, for example, an ester formed between auristatin E and a keto acid. For example, auristatin E can be reacted with paraacetyl benzoic acid or benzoylvaleric acid to produce AEB and AEVB, respectively. Other typical auristatins include AFP, MMAF, and MMAE. The synthesis and structure of exemplary auristatins are described in U.S. Pat. Nos. 6,884,869, 7,098,308, 7,256,257, 7,423,116, 7,498,298 and 7,745,394, each of which is incorporated by reference herein in its entirety and for all purposes.

Conjugate Linkers

In some embodimenents, the drug is linked to the antigen-binding construct, e.g., antibody, by a linker. Attachment of a linker to an antibody can be accomplished in a variety of ways, such as through surface lysines, reductive-coupling to oxidized carbohydrates, and through cysteine residues liberated by reducing interchain disulfide linkages. A variety of ADC linkage systems are known in the art, including hydrazone-, disulfide- and peptide-based linkages.

Suitable linkers include, for example, cleavable and non-cleavable linkers. A cleavable linker is typically susceptible to cleavage under intracellular conditions. Suitable cleavable linkers include, for example, a peptide linker cleavable by an intracellular protease, such as lysosomal protease or an endosomal protease. In exemplary embodiments, the linker can be a dipeptide linker, such as a valine-citrulline (val-cit), a phenylalanine-lysine (phe-lys) linker, or maleimidocapronic-valine-citruline-p-aminobenzyloxycarbonyl (mc-Val-Cit-PABA) linker. Another linker is Sulfosuccinimidyl-4-[N-maleimidomethylicyclohexane-1-carboxylate (SMCC). Sulfo-smcc conjugation occurs via a maleimide group which reacts with sulfhydryls (thiols, —SH), while its Sulfo-NHS ester is reactive toward primary amines (as found in Lysine and the protein or peptide N-terminus). Yet another linker is maleimidocaproyl (MC). Other suitable linkers include linkers hydrolyzable at a specific pH or a pH range, such as a hydrazone linker. Additional suitable cleavable linkers include disulfide linkers. The linker may be covalently bound to the antibody to such an extent that the antibody must be degraded intracellularly in order for the drug to be released e.g. the MC linker and the like.

Preparation of ADCs

The ADC may be prepared by several routes, employing organic chemistry reactions, conditions, and reagents known to those skilled in the art, including: (1) reaction of a nucleophilic group or an electrophilic group of an antibody with a bivalent linker reagent, to form antibody-linker intermediate Ab-L, via a covalent bond, followed by reaction with an activated drug moiety D; and (2) reaction of a nucleophilic group or an electrophilic group of a drug moiety with a linker reagent, to form drug-linker intermediate D-L, via a covalent bond, followed by reaction with the nucleophilic group or an electrophilic group of an antibody. Conjugation methods (1) and (2) may be employed with a variety of antibodies, drug moieties, and linkers to prepare the antibody-drug conjugates described here.

Several specific examples of methods of preparing ADCs are known in the art and are described in U.S. Pat. No. 8,624,003 (pot method), U.S. Pat. No. 8,163,888 (one-step), and U.S. Pat. No. 5,208,020 (two-step method).

Methods of Preparation of Antigen-Binding Constructs

Antigen-binding constructs described herein may be produced using recombinant methods and compositions, e.g., as described in U.S. Pat. No. 4,816,567.

In one embodiment, isolated nucleic acid encoding an antigen-binding construct described herein is provided. Such nucleic acid may encode an amino acid sequence comprising the VL and/or an amino acid sequence comprising the VH of the antigen-binding construct (e.g., the light and/or heavy chains of the antigen-binding construct). In a further embodiment, one or more vectors (e.g., expression vectors) comprising such nucleic acid are provided. In one embodiment, the nucleic acid is provided in a multicistronic vector. In a further embodiment, a host cell comprising such nucleic acid is provided. In one such embodiment, a host cell comprises (e.g., has been transformed with): (1) a vector comprising a nucleic acid that encodes an amino acid sequence comprising the VL of the antigen-binding construct and an amino acid sequence comprising the VH of the antigen-binding polypeptide construct, or (2) a first vector comprising a nucleic acid that encodes an amino acid sequence comprising the VL of the antigen-binding polypeptide construct and a second vector comprising a nucleic acid that encodes an amino acid sequence comprising the VH of the antigen-binding polypeptide construct. In one embodiment, the host cell is eukaryotic, e.g. a Chinese Hamster Ovary (CHO) cell, or human embryonic kidney (HEK) cell, or lymphoid cell (e.g., Y0, NS0, Sp20 cell). In one embodiment, a method of making an antigen-binding construct is provided, wherein the method comprises culturing a host cell comprising nucleic acid encoding the antigen-binding construct, as provided above, under conditions suitable for expression of the antigen-binding construct, and optionally recovering the antigen-binding construct from the host cell (or host cell culture medium).

For recombinant production of the antigen-binding construct, nucleic acid encoding an antigen-binding construct, e.g., as described above, is isolated and inserted into one or more vectors for further cloning and/or expression in a host cell. Such nucleic acid may be readily isolated and sequenced using conventional procedures (e.g., by using oligonucleotide probes that are capable of binding specifically to genes encoding the heavy and light chains of the antigen-binding construct).

The term “substantially purified” refers to a construct described herein, or variant thereof that may be substantially or essentially free of components that normally accompany or interact with the protein as found in its naturally occurring environment, i.e. a native cell, or host cell in the case of recombinantly produced heteromultimer that in certain embodiments, is substantially free of cellular material includes preparations of protein having less than about 30%, less than about 25%, less than about 20%, less than about 15%, less than about 10%, less than about 5%, less than about 4%, less than about 3%, less than about 2%, or less than about 1% (by dry weight) of contaminating protein. When the heteromultimer or variant thereof is recombinantly produced by the host cells, the protein in certain embodiments is present at about 30%, about 25%, about 20%, about 15%, about 10%, about 5%, about 4%, about 3%, about 2%, or about 1% or less of the dry weight of the cells. When the heteromultimer or variant thereof is recombinantly produced by the host cells, the protein, in certain embodiments, is present in the culture medium at about 5 g/L, about 4 g/L, about 3 g/L, about 2 g/L, about 1 g/L, about 750 mg/L, about 500 mg/L, about 250 mg/L, about 100 mg/L, about 50 mg/L, about 10 mg/L, or about 1 mg/L or less of the dry weight of the cells. In certain embodiments, “substantially purified” heteromultimer produced by the methods described herein, has a purity level of at least about 30%, at least about 35%, at least about 40%, at least about 45%, at least about 50%, at least about 55%, at least about 60%, at least about 65%, at least about 70%, specifically, a purity level of at least about 75%, 80%, 85%, and more specifically, a purity level of at least about 90%, a purity level of at least about 95%, a purity level of at least about 99% or greater as determined by appropriate methods such as SDS/PAGE analysis, RP-HPLC, SEC, and capillary electrophoresis.

Suitable host cells for cloning or expression of antigen-binding construct-encoding vectors include prokaryotic or eukaryotic cells described herein.

A “recombinant host cell” or “host cell” refers to a cell that includes an exogenous polynucleotide, regardless of the method used for insertion, for example, direct uptake, transduction, f-mating, or other methods known in the art to create recombinant host cells. The exogenous polynucleotide may be maintained as a nonintegrated vector, for example, a plasmid, or alternatively, may be integrated into the host genome.

As used herein, the term “eukaryote” refers to organisms belonging to the phylogenetic domain Eucarya such as animals (including but not limited to, mammals, insects, reptiles, birds, etc.), ciliates, plants (including but not limited to, monocots, dicots, algae, etc.), fungi, yeasts, flagellates, microsporidia, protists, etc.

As used herein, the term “prokaryote” refers to prokaryotic organisms. For example, a non-eukaryotic organism can belong to the Eubacteria (including but not limited to, Escherichia coli, Thermus thermophilus, Bacillus stearothermophilus, Pseudomonas fluorescens, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Pseudomonas putida, etc.) phylogenetic domain, or the Archaea (including but not limited to, Methanococcus jannaschii, Methanobacterium thermoautotrophicum, Halobacterium such as Haloferax volcanii and Halobacterium species NRC-1, Archaeoglobus fulgidus, Pyrococcus furiosus, Pyrococcus horikoshii, Aeuropyrum pernix, etc.) phylogenetic domain.

For example, antigen-binding construct may be produced in bacteria, in particular when glycosylation and Fc effector function are not needed. For expression of antigen-binding construct fragments and polypeptides in bacteria, see, e.g., U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,648,237, 5,789,199, and 5,840,523. (See also Charlton, Methods in Molecular Biology, Vol. 248 (B. K. C. Lo, ed., Humana Press, Totowa, N.J., 2003), pp. 245-254, describing expression of antibody fragments in E. coli.) After expression, the antigen-binding construct may be isolated from the bacterial cell paste in a soluble fraction and can be further purified.

In addition to prokaryotes, eukaryotic microbes such as filamentous fungi or yeast are suitable cloning or expression hosts for antigen-binding construct-encoding vectors, including fungi and yeast strains whose glycosylation pathways have been “humanized,” resulting in the production of an antigen-binding construct with a partially or fully human glycosylation pattern. See Gerngross, Nat. Biotech. 22:1409-1414 (2004), and Li et al., Nat. Biotech. 24:210-215 (2006).

Suitable host cells for the expression of glycosylated antigen-binding constructs are also derived from multicellular organisms (invertebrates and vertebrates). Examples of invertebrate cells include plant and insect cells. Numerous baculoviral strains have been identified which may be used in conjunction with insect cells, particularly for transfection of Spodoptera frugiperda cells.

Plant cell cultures can also be utilized as hosts. See, e.g., U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,959,177, 6,040,498, 6,420,548, 7,125,978, and 6,417,429 (describing PLANTIBODIES™ technology for producing antigen-binding constructs in transgenic plants).

Vertebrate cells may also be used as hosts. For example, mammalian cell lines that are adapted to grow in suspension may be useful. Other examples of useful mammalian host cell lines are monkey kidney CV1 line transformed by SV40 (COS-7); human embryonic kidney line (293 or 293 cells as described, e.g., in Graham et al., J. Gen Virol. 36:59 (1977)); baby hamster kidney cells (BHK); mouse sertoli cells (TM4 cells as described, e.g., in Mather, Biol. Reprod. 23:243-251 (1980)); monkey kidney cells (CV1); African green monkey kidney cells (VERO-76); human cervical carcinoma cells (HELA); canine kidney cells (MDCK; buffalo rat liver cells (BRL 3A); human lung cells (W138); human liver cells (Hep G2); mouse mammary tumor (MMT 060562); TRI cells, as described, e.g., in Mather et al., Annals N.Y. Acad. Sci. 383:44-68 (1982); MRC 5 cells; and FS4 cells. Other useful mammalian host cell lines include Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells, including DHFR⁻CHO cells (Urlaub et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 77:4216 (1980)); and myeloma cell lines such as Y0, NSO and Sp2/0. For a review of certain mammalian host cell lines suitable for antigen-binding construct production, see, e.g., Yazaki and Wu, Methods in Molecular Biology, Vol. 248 (B. K. C. Lo, ed., Humana Press, Totowa, N.J.), pp. 255-268 (2003).

In one embodiment, the antigen-binding constructs described herein are produced in stable mammalian cells, by a method comprising: transfecting at least one stable mammalian cell with: nucleic acid encoding the antigen-binding construct, in a predetermined ratio; and expressing the nucleic acid in the at least one mammalian cell. In some embodiments, the predetermined ratio of nucleic acid is determined in transient transfection experiments to determine the relative ratio of input nucleic acids that results in the highest percentage of the antigen-binding construct in the expressed product.

In some embodiments is the method of producing a antigen-binding construct in stable mammalian cells as described herein wherein the expression product of the at least one stable mammalian cell comprises a larger percentage of the desired glycosylated antigen-binding construct as compared to the monomeric heavy or light chain polypeptides, or other antibodies.

In some embodiments is the method of producing a glycosylated antigen-binding construct in stable mammalian cells described herein, said method comprising identifying and purifying the desired glycosylated antigen-binding construct. In some embodiments, the said identification is by one or both of liquid chromatography and mass spectrometry.

If required, the antigen-binding constructs can be purified or isolated after expression. Proteins may be isolated or purified in a variety of ways known to those skilled in the art. Standard purification methods include chromatographic techniques, including ion exchange, hydrophobic interaction, affinity, sizing or gel filtration, and reversed-phase, carried out at atmospheric pressure or at high pressure using systems such as FPLC and HPLC. Purification methods also include electrophoretic, immunological, precipitation, dialysis, and chromatofocusing techniques. Ultrafiltration and diafiltration techniques, in conjunction with protein concentration, are also useful. As is well known in the art, a variety of natural proteins bind Fc and antibodies, and these proteins can find use in the present invention for purification of antigen-binding constructs. For example, the bacterial proteins A and G bind to the Fc region. Likewise, the bacterial protein L binds to the Fab region of some antibodies. Purification can often be enabled by a particular fusion partner. For example, antibodies may be purified using glutathione resin if a GST fusion is employed, Ni⁺² affinity chromatography if a His-tag is employed, or immobilized anti-flag antibody if a flag-tag is used. For general guidance in suitable purification techniques, see, e.g. incorporated entirely by reference Protein Purification: Principles and Practice, 3^(rd) Ed., Scopes, Springer-Verlag, NY, 1994, incorporated entirely by reference. The degree of purification necessary will vary depending on the use of the antigen-binding constructs. In some instances no purification is necessary.

In certain embodiments the antigen-binding constructs are purified using Anion Exchange Chromatography including, but not limited to, chromatography on Q-sepharose, DEAE sepharose, poros HQ, poros DEAF, Toyopearl Q, Toyopearl QAE, Toyopearl DEAE, Resource/Source Q and DEAE, Fractogel Q and DEAE columns.

H. Freeman & Co., N.Y and Hunkapiller et al., Nature, 310:105-111 (1984)). For example, a polypeptide corresponding to a fragment of a polypeptide can be synthesized by use of a peptide synthesizer. Furthermore, if desired, nonclassical amino acids or chemical amino acid analogs can be introduced as a substitution or addition into the polypeptide sequence. Non-classical amino acids include, but are not limited to, to the D-isomers of the common amino acids, 2,4diaminobutyric acid, alpha-amino isobutyric acid, 4aminobutyric acid, Abu, 2-amino butyric acid, g-Abu, e-Ahx, 6amino hexanoic acid, Aib, 2-amino isobutyric acid, 3-amino propionic acid, ornithine, norleucine, norvaline, hydroxyproline, sarcosine, citrulline, homocitrulline, cysteic acid, t-butylglycine, t-butylalanine, phenylglycine, cyclohexylalanine, □-alanine, fluoro-amino acids, designer amino acids such as □-methyl amino acids, C□-methyl amino acids, N□-methyl amino acids, and amino acid analogs in general.

Such solid supports include, but are not limited to, glass, cellulose, polyacrylamide, nylon, polystyrene, polyvinyl chloride or polypropylene.

Pharmaceutical Compositions

Also provided herein are pharmaceutical compositions comprising an antigen-binding construct described herein. Pharmaceutical compositions comprise the construct and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier.

The term “pharmaceutically acceptable” means approved by a regulatory agency of the Federal or a state government or listed in the U.S. Pharmacopeia or other generally recognized pharmacopeia for use in animals, and more particularly in humans. The term “carrier” refers to a diluent, adjuvant, excipient, or vehicle with which the therapeutic is administered. Such pharmaceutical carriers can be sterile liquids, such as water and oils, including those of petroleum, animal, vegetable or synthetic origin, such as peanut oil, soybean oil, mineral oil, sesame oil and the like. In some aspects, the carrier is a man-made carrier not found in nature. Water can be used as a carrier when the pharmaceutical composition is administered intravenously. Saline solutions and aqueous dextrose and glycerol solutions can also be employed as liquid carriers, particularly for injectable solutions. Suitable pharmaceutical excipients include starch, glucose, lactose, sucrose, gelatin, malt, rice, flour, chalk, silica gel, sodium stearate, glycerol monostearate, talc, sodium chloride, dried skim milk, glycerol, propylene, glycol, water, ethanol and the like.

The composition can be formulated as a suppository, with traditional binders and carriers such as triglycerides. Oral formulation can include standard carriers such as pharmaceutical grades of mannitol, lactose, starch, magnesium stearate, sodium saccharine, cellulose, magnesium carbonate, etc. Examples of suitable pharmaceutical carriers are described in “Remington's Pharmaceutical Sciences” by E. W. Martin. Such compositions will contain a therapeutically effective amount of the compound, preferably in purified form, together with a suitable amount of carrier so as to provide the form for proper administration to the patient. The formulation should suit the mode of administration.

In certain embodiments, the composition comprising the construct is formulated in accordance with routine procedures as a pharmaceutical composition adapted for intravenous administration to human beings. Typically, compositions for intravenous administration are solutions in sterile isotonic aqueous buffer. Where necessary, the composition may also include a solubilizing agent and a local anesthetic such as lignocaine to ease pain at the site of the injection. Generally, the ingredients are supplied either separately or mixed together in unit dosage form, for example, as a dry lyophilized powder or water free concentrate in a hermetically sealed container such as an ampoule or sachette indicating the quantity of active agent. Where the composition is to be administered by infusion, it can be dispensed with an infusion bottle containing sterile pharmaceutical grade water or saline. Where the composition is administered by injection, an ampoule of sterile water for injection or saline can be provided so that the ingredients may be mixed prior to administration.

In certain embodiments, the compositions described herein are formulated as neutral or salt forms. Pharmaceutically acceptable salts include those formed with anions such as those derived from hydrochloric, phosphoric, acetic, oxalic, tartaric acids, etc., and those formed with cations such as those derived from sodium, potassium, ammonium, calcium, ferric hydroxide isopropylamine, triethylamine, 2-ethylamino ethanol, histidine, procaine, etc.

Methods of Treatment

In certain embodiments, provided is a method of treating a disease or disorder comprising administering to a subject in which such treatment, prevention or amelioration is desired, an antigen-binding construct described herein, in an amount effective to treat, prevent or ameliorate the disease or disorder.

“Disorder” refers to any condition that would benefit from treatment with an antigen-binding construct or method described herein. This includes chronic and acute disorders or diseases including those pathological conditions which predispose the mammal to the disorder in question. In some embodiments, the disorder is cancer, as described in more detail below.

The term “subject” refers to an animal, in some embodiments a mammal, which is the object of treatment, observation or experiment. An animal may be a human, a non-human primate, a companion animal (e.g., dogs, cats, and the like), farm animal (e.g., cows, sheep, pigs, horses, and the like) or a laboratory animal (e.g., rats, mice, guinea pigs, and the like).

The term “mammal” as used herein includes but is not limited to humans, non-human primates, canines, felines, murines, bovines, equines, and porcines.

“Treatment” refers to clinical intervention in an attempt to alter the natural course of the individual or cell being treated, and can be performed either for prophylaxis or during the course of clinical pathology. Desirable effects of treatment include preventing occurrence or recurrence of disease, alleviation of symptoms, diminishing of any direct or indirect pathological consequences of the disease, preventing metastasis, decreasing the rate of disease progression, amelioration or palliation of the disease state, and remission or improved prognosis. In some embodiments, antigen-binding constructs described herein are used to delay development of a disease or disorder. In one embodiment, antigen-binding constructs and methods described herein effect tumor regression. In one embodiment, antigen-binding constructs and methods described herein effect inhibition of tumor/cancer growth.

Desirable effects of treatment include, but are not limited to, preventing occurrence or recurrence of disease, alleviation of symptoms, diminishment of any direct or indirect pathological consequences of the disease, preventing metastasis, decreasing the rate of disease progression, amelioration or palliation of the disease state, improved survival, and remission or improved prognosis. In some embodiments, antigen-binding constructs described herein are used to delay development of a disease or to slow the progression of a disease.

The term “effective amount” as used herein refers to that amount of construct being administered, which will accomplish the goal of the recited method, e.g., relieve to some extent one or more of the symptoms of the disease, condition or disorder being treated. The amount of the composition described herein which will be effective in the treatment, inhibition and prevention of a disease or disorder associated with aberrant expression and/or activity of a therapeutic protein can be determined by standard clinical techniques. In addition, in vitro assays may optionally be employed to help identify optimal dosage ranges. The precise dose to be employed in the formulation will also depend on the route of administration, and the seriousness of the disease or disorder, and should be decided according to the judgment of the practitioner and each patient's circumstances. Effective doses are extrapolated from dose-response curves derived from in vitro or animal model test systems.

The antigen-binding construct is administered to the subject. Various delivery systems are known and can be used to administer an antigen-binding construct formulation described herein, e.g., encapsulation in liposomes, microparticles, microcapsules, recombinant cells capable of expressing the compound, receptor-mediated endocytosis (see, e.g., Wu and Wu, J. Biol. Chem. 262:4429-4432 (1987)), construction of a nucleic acid as part of a retroviral or other vector, etc. Methods of introduction include but are not limited to intradermal, intramuscular, intraperitoneal, intravenous, subcutaneous, intranasal, epidural, and oral routes. The compounds or compositions may be administered by any convenient route, for example by infusion or bolus injection, by absorption through epithelial or mucocutaneous linings (e.g., oral mucosa, rectal and intestinal mucosa, etc.) and may be administered together with other biologically active agents. Administration can be systemic or local. In addition, in certain embodiments, it is desirable to introduce the antigen-binding construct compositions described herein into the central nervous system by any suitable route, including intraventricular and intrathecal injection; intraventricular injection may be facilitated by an intraventricular catheter, for example, attached to a reservoir, such as an Ommaya reservoir. Pulmonary administration can also be employed, e.g., by use of an inhaler or nebulizer, and formulation with an aerosolizing agent.

In a specific embodiment, it is desirable to administer the antigen-binding constructs, or compositions described herein locally to the area in need of treatment; this may be achieved by, for example, and not by way of limitation, local infusion during surgery, topical application, e.g., in conjunction with a wound dressing after surgery, by injection, by means of a catheter, by means of a suppository, or by means of an implant, said implant being of a porous, non-porous, or gelatinous material, including membranes, such as sialastic membranes, or fibers. Preferably, when administering a protein, including an antigen-binding construct, described herein, care must be taken to use materials to which the protein does not absorb.

In another embodiment, the antigen-binding constructs or composition can be delivered in a vesicle, in particular a liposome (see Langer, Science 249:1527-1533 (1990); Treat et al., in Liposomes in the Therapy of Infectious Disease and Cancer, Lopez-Berestein and Fidler (eds.), Liss, New York, pp. 353-365 (1989); Lopez-Berestein, ibid., pp. 317-327; see generally ibid.)

In yet another embodiment, the antigen-binding constructs or composition can be delivered in a controlled release system. In one embodiment, a pump may be used (see Langer, supra; Sefton, CRC Crit. Ref. Biomed. Eng. 14:201 (1987); Buchwald et al., Surgery 88:507 (1980); Saudek et al., N. Engl. J. Med. 321:574 (1989)). In another embodiment, polymeric materials can be used (see Medical Applications of Controlled Release, Langer and Wise (eds.), CRC Pres., Boca Raton, Fla. (1974); Controlled Drug Bioavailability, Drug Product Design and Performance, Smolen and Ball (eds.), Wiley, New York (1984); Ranger and Peppas, J., Macromol. Sci. Rev. Macromol. Chem. 23:61 (1983); see also Levy et al., Science 228:190 (1985); During et al., Ann. Neurol. 25:351 (1989); Howard et al., J. Neurosurg. 71:105 (1989)). In yet another embodiment, a controlled release system can be placed in proximity of the therapeutic target, e.g., the brain, thus requiring only a fraction of the systemic dose (see, e.g., Goodson, in Medical Applications of Controlled Release, vol. 2, pp. 115-138 (1984)).

In a specific embodiment comprising a nucleic acid encoding antigen-binding constructs decribed herein, the nucleic acid can be administered in vivo to promote expression of its encoded protein, by constructing it as part of an appropriate nucleic acid expression vector and administering it so that it becomes intracellular, e.g., by use of a retroviral vector (see U.S. Pat. No. 4,980,286), or by direct injection, or by use of microparticle bombardment (e.g., a gene gun; Biolistic, Dupont), or coating with lipids or cell-surface receptors or transfecting agents, or by administering it in linkage to a homeobox-like peptide which is known to enter the nucleus (see e.g., Joliot et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 88:1864-1868 (1991)), etc. Alternatively, a nucleic acid can be introduced intracellularly and incorporated within host cell DNA for expression, by homologous recombination.

In certain embodiments an antigen-binding construct described herein is administered as a combination with antigen-binding constructs with non-overlapping binding target epitopes.

The amount of the antigen-binding construct which will be effective in the treatment, inhibition and prevention of a disease or disorder can be determined by standard clinical techniques. In addition, in vitro assays may optionally be employed to help identify optimal dosage ranges. The precise dose to be employed in the formulation will also depend on the route of administration, and the seriousness of the disease or disorder, and should be decided according to the judgment of the practitioner and each patient's circumstances. Effective doses are extrapolated from dose-response curves derived from in vitro or animal model test systems.

The antigen-binding constructs described herein may be administered alone or in combination with other types of treatments (e.g., radiation therapy, chemotherapy, hormonal therapy, immunotherapy and anti-tumor agents). Generally, administration of products of a species origin or species reactivity (in the case of antibodies) that is the same species as that of the patient is preferred. Thus, in an embodiment, human antigen-binding constructs, fragments derivatives, analogs, or nucleic acids, are administered to a human patient for therapy or prophylaxis.

Methods of Treating Cancers

Described herein are methods of treating a HER2+ cancer or a tumor in a subject, and methods of inhibiting the growth of a HER2+ tumor cell or killing a HER2+ tumor cell using the antigen-binding constructs described herein.

By a HER2+ cancer is meant a cancer that expresses HER2 such that the antigen-binding constructs described herein are able to bind to the cancer. As is known in the art, HER2+ cancers express HER2 at varying levels. To determine ErbB, e.g. ErbB2 (HER2) expression in the cancer, various diagnostic/prognostic assays are available. In one embodiment, ErbB2 overexpression may be analyzed by IHC, e.g. using the HERCEPTEST® (Dako). Parrafin embedded tissue sections from a tumor biopsy may be subjected to the IHC assay and accorded a ErbB2 protein staining intensity criteria as follows:

Score 0 no staining is observed or membrane staining is observed in less than 10% of tumor cells.

Score 1+ a faint/barely perceptible membrane staining is detected in more than 10% of the tumor cells. The cells are only stained in part of their membrane.

Score 2+ a weak to moderate complete membrane staining is observed in more than 10% of the tumor cells.

Score 3+ a moderate to strong complete membrane staining is observed in more than 10% of the tumor cells.

Those tumors with 0 or 1+ scores for ErbB2 overexpression assessment may be characterized as not overexpressing ErbB2, whereas those tumors with 2+ or 3+ scores may be characterized as overexpressing ErbB2.

Alternatively, or additionally, fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) assays such as the INFORM™ (sold by Ventana, Ariz.) or PATHVISION™ (Vysis, Ill.) may be carried out on formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tumor tissue to determine the extent (if any) of ErbB2 overexpression in the tumor. In comparison with IHC assay, the FISH assay, which measures HER2 gene amplification, seems to correlate better with response of patients to treatment with HERCEPTIN®, and is currently considered to be the preferred assay to identify patients likely to benefit from HERCEPTIN® treatment.

Table D describes the expression level of HER2 on several representative breast cancer and other cancer cell lines (Subik et al. (2010) Breast Cancer: Basic Clinical Research:4; 35-41; Prang et a. (2005) British Journal of Cancer Research:92; 342-349). As shown in the table, MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231 cells are considered to be low HER2 expressing cells; JIMT-1, and ZR-75-1 cells are considered to be medium HER2 expressing cells, and SKBR3 and BT-474 cells are considered to be high HER2 expressing cells. SKOV3 (ovarian cancer) cells are considered to be medium HER2 expressing cells.

Described herein are methods of treating a subject having a HER2+ cancer or a tumor comprising providing to the subject an effective amount of a pharmaceutical composition comprising an antigen-binding construct described herein.

Also described herein is the use of an HER2 antigen-binding construct described herein for the manufacture of a medicament for treating a cancer or a tumor. Also described herein are HER2 antigen-binding constructs for use in the treatment of cancer or a tumor.

In specific embodiments, the antigen-binding construct is v10000, v7091, v5019 or v5020. In one embodiment, the antigen-binding construct is v10000.

Polypeptides and Polynucleotides

The antigen-binding constructs described herein comprise at least one polypeptide. Also described are polynucleotides encoding the polypeptides described herein. The antigen-binding constructs are typically isolated.

As used herein, “isolated” means an agent (e.g., a polypeptide or polynucleotide) that has been identified and separated and/or recovered from a component of its natural cell culture environment. Contaminant components of its natural environment are materials that would interfere with diagnostic or therapeutic uses for the antigen-binding construct, and may include enzymes, hormones, and other proteinaceous or non-proteinaceous solutes. Isolated also refers to an agent that has been synthetically produced, e.g., via human intervention.

The terms “polypeptide,” “peptide” and “protein” are used interchangeably herein to refer to a polymer of amino acid residues. That is, a description directed to a polypeptide applies equally to a description of a peptide and a description of a protein, and vice versa. The terms apply to naturally occurring amino acid polymers as well as amino acid polymers in which one or more amino acid residues is a non-naturally encoded amino acid. As used herein, the terms encompass amino acid chains of any length, including full length proteins, wherein the amino acid residues are linked by covalent peptide bonds.

The term “amino acid” refers to naturally occurring and non-naturally occurring amino acids, as well as amino acid analogs and amino acid mimetics that function in a manner similar to the naturally occurring amino acids. Naturally encoded amino acids are the 20 common amino acids (alanine, arginine, asparagine, aspartic acid, cysteine, glutamine, glutamic acid, glycine, histidine, isoleucine, leucine, lysine, methionine, phenylalanine, praline, serine, threonine, tryptophan, tyrosine, and valine) and pyrrolysine and selenocysteine. Amino acid analogs refers to compounds that have the same basic chemical structure as a naturally occurring amino acid, i.e., an a carbon that is bound to a hydrogen, a carboxyl group, an amino group, and an R group, such as, homoserine, norleucine, methionine sulfoxide, methionine methyl sulfonium. Such analogs have modified R groups (such as, norleucine) or modified peptide backbones, but retain the same basic chemical structure as a naturally occurring amino acid. Reference to an amino acid includes, for example, naturally occurring proteogenic L-amino acids; D-amino acids, chemically modified amino acids such as amino acid variants and derivatives; naturally occurring non-proteogenic amino acids such as β-alanine, ornithine, etc.; and chemically synthesized compounds having properties known in the art to be characteristic of amino acids. Examples of non-naturally occurring amino acids include, but are not limited to, α-methyl amino acids (e.g. α-methyl alanine), D-amino acids, histidine-like amino acids (e.g., 2-amino-histidine, β-hydroxy-histidine, homohistidine), amino acids having an extra methylene in the side chain (“homo” amino acids), and amino acids in which a carboxylic acid functional group in the side chain is replaced with a sulfonic acid group (e.g., cysteic acid). The incorporation of non-natural amino acids, including synthetic non-native amino acids, substituted amino acids, or one or more D-amino acids into the proteins of the present invention may be advantageous in a number of different ways. D-amino acid-containing peptides, etc., exhibit increased stability in vitro or in vivo compared to L-amino acid-containing counterparts. Thus, the construction of peptides, etc., incorporating D-amino acids can be particularly useful when greater intracellular stability is desired or required. More specifically, D-peptides, etc., are resistant to endogenous peptidases and proteases, thereby providing improved bioavailability of the molecule, and prolonged lifetimes in vivo when such properties are desirable. Additionally, D-peptides, etc., cannot be processed efficiently for major histocompatibility complex class II-restricted presentation to T helper cells, and are therefore, less likely to induce humoral immune responses in the whole organism.

Amino acids may be referred to herein by either their commonly known three letter symbols or by the one-letter symbols recommended by the IUPAC-IUB Biochemical Nomenclature Commission. Nucleotides, likewise, may be referred to by their commonly accepted single-letter codes.

Also included in the invention are polynucleotides encoding polypeptides of the antigen-binding constructs. The term “polynucleotide” or “nucleotide sequence” is intended to indicate a consecutive stretch of two or more nucleotide molecules. The nucleotide sequence may be of genomic, cDNA, RNA, semisynthetic or synthetic origin, or any combination thereof.

The term “nucleic acid” refers to deoxyribonucleotides, deoxyribonucleosides, ribonucleosides, or ribonucleotides and polymers thereof in either single- or double-stranded form. Unless specifically limited, the term encompasses nucleic acids containing known analogues of natural nucleotides which have similar binding properties as the reference nucleic acid and are metabolized in a manner similar to naturally occurring nucleotides. Unless specifically limited otherwise, the term also refers to oligonucleotide analogs including PNA (peptidonucleic acid), analogs of DNA used in antisense technology (phosphorothioates, phosphoroamidates, and the like). Unless otherwise indicated, a particular nucleic acid sequence also implicitly encompasses conservatively modified variants thereof (including but not limited to, degenerate codon substitutions) and complementary sequences as well as the sequence explicitly indicated. Specifically, degenerate codon substitutions may be achieved by generating sequences in which the third position of one or more selected (or all) codons is substituted with mixed-base and/or deoxyinosine residues (Batzer et al., Nucleic Acid Res. 19:5081 (1991); Ohtsuka et al., J. Biol. Chem. 260:2605-2608 (1985); Rossolini et al., Mol. Cell. Probes 8:91-98 (1994)).

“Conservatively modified variants” applies to both amino acid and nucleic acid sequences. With respect to particular nucleic acid sequences, “conservatively modified variants” refers to those nucleic acids which encode identical or essentially identical amino acid sequences, or where the nucleic acid does not encode an amino acid sequence, to essentially identical sequences. Because of the degeneracy of the genetic code, a large number of functionally identical nucleic acids encode any given protein. For instance, the codons GCA, GCC, GCG and GCU all encode the amino acid alanine. Thus, at every position where an alanine is specified by a codon, the codon can be altered to any of the corresponding codons described without altering the encoded polypeptide. Such nucleic acid variations are “silent variations,” which are one species of conservatively modified variations. Every nucleic acid sequence herein which encodes a polypeptide also describes every possible silent variation of the nucleic acid. One of ordinary skill in the art will recognize that each codon in a nucleic acid (except AUG, which is ordinarily the only codon for methionine, and TGG, which is ordinarily the only codon for tryptophan) can be modified to yield a functionally identical molecule. Accordingly, each silent variation of a nucleic acid which encodes a polypeptide is implicit in each described sequence.

As to amino acid sequences, one of ordinary skill in the art will recognize that individual substitutions, deletions or additions to a nucleic acid, peptide, polypeptide, or protein sequence which alters, adds or deletes a single amino acid or a small percentage of amino acids in the encoded sequence is a “conservatively modified variant” where the alteration results in the deletion of an amino acid, addition of an amino acid, or substitution of an amino acid with a chemically similar amino acid. Conservative substitution tables providing functionally similar amino acids are known to those of ordinary skill in the art. Such conservatively modified variants are in addition to and do not exclude polymorphic variants, interspecies homologs, and alleles described herein.

Conservative substitution tables providing functionally similar amino acids are known to those of ordinary skill in the art. The following eight groups each contain amino acids that are conservative substitutions for one another: 1) Alanine (A), Glycine (G); 2) Aspartic acid (D), Glutamic acid (E); 3) Asparagine (N), Glutamine (Q); 4) Arginine (R), Lysine (K); 5) Isoleucine (I), Leucine (L), Methionine (M), Valine (V); 6) Phenylalanine (F), Tyrosine (Y), Tryptophan (W); 7) Serine (S), Threonine (T); and [0139] 8) Cysteine (C), Methionine (M) (see, e.g., Creighton, Proteins: Structures and Molecular Properties (W H Freeman & Co.; 2nd edition (December 1993)

The terms “identical” or percent “identity,” in the context of two or more nucleic acids or polypeptide sequences, refer to two or more sequences or subsequences that are the same. Sequences are “substantially identical” if they have a percentage of amino acid residues or nucleotides that are the same (i.e., about 60% identity, about 65%, about 70%, about 75%, about 80%, about 85%, about 90%, or about 95% identity over a specified region), when compared and aligned for maximum correspondence over a comparison window, or designated region as measured using one of the following sequence comparison algorithms (or other algorithms available to persons of ordinary skill in the art) or by manual alignment and visual inspection. This definition also refers to the complement of a test sequence. The identity can exist over a region that is at least about 50 amino acids or nucleotides in length, or over a region that is 75-100 amino acids or nucleotides in length, or, where not specified, across the entire sequence of a polynucleotide or polypeptide. A polynucleotide encoding a polypeptide of the present invention, including homologs from species other than human, may be obtained by a process comprising the steps of screening a library under stringent hybridization conditions with a labeled probe having a polynucleotide sequence described herein or a fragment thereof, and isolating full-length cDNA and genomic clones containing said polynucleotide sequence. Such hybridization techniques are well known to the skilled artisan.

For sequence comparison, typically one sequence acts as a reference sequence, to which test sequences are compared. When using a sequence comparison algorithm, test and reference sequences are entered into a computer, subsequence coordinates are designated, if necessary, and sequence algorithm program parameters are designated. Default program parameters can be used, or alternative parameters can be designated. The sequence comparison algorithm then calculates the percent sequence identities for the test sequences relative to the reference sequence, based on the program parameters.

A “comparison window”, as used herein, includes reference to a segment of any one of the number of contiguous positions selected from the group consisting of from 20 to 600, usually about 50 to about 200, more usually about 100 to about 150 in which a sequence may be compared to a reference sequence of the same number of contiguous positions after the two sequences are optimally aligned. Methods of alignment of sequences for comparison are known to those of ordinary skill in the art. Optimal alignment of sequences for comparison can be conducted, including but not limited to, by the local homology algorithm of Smith and Waterman (1970) Adv. Appl. Math. 2:482c, by the homology alignment algorithm of Needleman and Wunsch (1970) J. Mol. Biol. 48:443, by the search for similarity method of Pearson and Lipman (1988) Proc. Nat'l. Acad. Sci. USA 85:2444, by computerized implementations of these algorithms (GAP, BESTFIT, FASTA, and TFASTA in the Wisconsin Genetics Software Package, Genetics Computer Group, 575 Science Dr., Madison, Wis.), or by manual alignment and visual inspection (see, e.g., Ausubel et al., Current Protocols in Molecular Biology (1995 supplement)).

One example of an algorithm that is suitable for determining percent sequence identity and sequence similarity are the BLAST and BLAST 2.0 algorithms, which are described in Altschul et al. (1997) Nuc. Acids Res. 25:3389-3402, and Altschul et al. (1990) J. Mol. Biol. 215:403-410, respectively. Software for performing BLAST analyses is publicly available through the National Center for Biotechnology Information available at the World Wide Web at ncbi.nlm.nih.gov. The BLAST algorithm parameters W, T, and X determine the sensitivity and speed of the alignment. The BLASTN program (for nucleotide sequences) uses as defaults a wordlength (W) of 11, an expectation (E) or 10, M=5, N=−4 and a comparison of both strands. For amino acid sequences, the BLASTP program uses as defaults a wordlength of 3, and expectation (E) of 10, and the BLOSUM62 scoring matrix (see Henikoff and Henikoff (1992) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 89:10915) alignments (B) of 50, expectation (E) of 10, M=5, N=−4, and a comparison of both strands. The BLAST algorithm is typically performed with the “low complexity” filter turned off.

The BLAST algorithm also performs a statistical analysis of the similarity between two sequences (see, e.g., Karlin and Altschul (1993) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 90:5873-5787). One measure of similarity provided by the BLAST algorithm is the smallest sum probability (P(N)), which provides an indication of the probability by which a match between two nucleotide or amino acid sequences would occur by chance. For example, a nucleic acid is considered similar to a reference sequence if the smallest sum probability in a comparison of the test nucleic acid to the reference nucleic acid is less than about 0.2, or less than about 0.01, or less than about 0.001.

The phrase “selectively (or specifically) hybridizes to” refers to the binding, duplexing, or hybridizing of a molecule only to a particular nucleotide sequence under stringent hybridization conditions when that sequence is present in a complex mixture (including but not limited to, total cellular or library DNA or RNA).

The phrase “stringent hybridization conditions” refers to hybridization of sequences of DNA, RNA, or other nucleic acids, or combinations thereof under conditions of low ionic strength and high temperature as is known in the art. Typically, under stringent conditions a probe will hybridize to its target subsequence in a complex mixture of nucleic acid (including but not limited to, total cellular or library DNA or RNA) but does not hybridize to other sequences in the complex mixture. Stringent conditions are sequence-dependent and will be different in different circumstances. Longer sequences hybridize specifically at higher temperatures. An extensive guide to the hybridization of nucleic acids is found in Tijssen, Laboratory Techniques in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology—Hybridization with Nucleic Probes, “Overview of principles of hybridization and the strategy of nucleic acid assays” (1993).

As used herein, the terms “engineer, engineered, engineering”, are considered to include any manipulation of the peptide backbone or the post-translational modifications of a naturally occurring or recombinant polypeptide or fragment thereof. Engineering includes modifications of the amino acid sequence, of the glycosylation pattern, or of the side chain group of individual amino acids, as well as combinations of these approaches. The engineered proteins are expressed and produced by standard molecular biology techniques.

By “isolated nucleic acid molecule or polynucleotide” is intended a nucleic acid molecule, DNA or RNA, which has been removed from its native environment. For example, a recombinant polynucleotide encoding a polypeptide contained in a vector is considered isolated. Further examples of an isolated polynucleotide include recombinant polynucleotides maintained in heterologous host cells or purified (partially or substantially) polynucleotides in solution. An isolated polynucleotide includes a polynucleotide molecule contained in cells that ordinarily contain the polynucleotide molecule, but the polynucleotide molecule is present extrachromosomally or at a chromosomal location that is different from its natural chromosomal location. Isolated RNA molecules include in vivo or in vitro RNA transcripts, as well as positive and negative strand forms, and double-stranded forms. Isolated polynucleotides or nucleic acids described herein, further include such molecules produced synthetically, e.g., via PCR or chemical synthesis. In addition, a polynucleotide or a nucleic acid, in certain embodiments, include a regulatory element such as a promoter, ribosome binding site, or a transcription terminator.

The term “polymerase chain reaction” or “PCR” generally refers to a method for amplification of a desired nucleotide sequence in vitro, as described, for example, in U.S. Pat. No. 4,683,195. In general, the PCR method involves repeated cycles of primer extension synthesis, using oligonucleotide primers capable of hybridising preferentially to a template nucleic acid.

By a nucleic acid or polynucleotide having a nucleotide sequence at least, for example, 95% “identical” to a reference nucleotide sequence of the present invention, it is intended that the nucleotide sequence of the polynucleotide is identical to the reference sequence except that the polynucleotide sequence may include up to five point mutations per each 100 nucleotides of the reference nucleotide sequence. In other words, to obtain a polynucleotide having a nucleotide sequence at least 95% identical to a reference nucleotide sequence, up to 5% of the nucleotides in the reference sequence may be deleted or substituted with another nucleotide, or a number of nucleotides up to 5% of the total nucleotides in the reference sequence may be inserted into the reference sequence. These alterations of the reference sequence may occur at the 5′ or 3′ terminal positions of the reference nucleotide sequence or anywhere between those terminal positions, interspersed either individually among residues in the reference sequence or in one or more contiguous groups within the reference sequence. As a practical matter, whether any particular polynucleotide sequence is at least 80%, 85%, 90%, 95%, 96%, 97%, 98% or 99% identical to a nucleotide sequence of the present invention can be determined conventionally using known computer programs, such as the ones discussed above for polypeptides (e.g. ALIGN-2).

A derivative, or a variant of a polypeptide is said to share “homology” or be “homologous” with the peptide if the amino acid sequences of the derivative or variant has at least 50% identity with a 100 amino acid sequence from the original peptide. In certain embodiments, the derivative or variant is at least 75% the same as that of either the peptide or a fragment of the peptide having the same number of amino acid residues as the derivative. In certain embodiments, the derivative or variant is at least 85% the same as that of either the peptide or a fragment of the peptide having the same number of amino acid residues as the derivative. In certain embodiments, the amino acid sequence of the derivative is at least 90% the same as the peptide or a fragment of the peptide having the same number of amino acid residues as the derivative. In some embodiments, the amino acid sequence of the derivative is at least 95% the same as the peptide or a fragment of the peptide having the same number of amino acid residues as the derivative. In certain embodiments, the derivative or variant is at least 99% the same as that of either the peptide or a fragment of the peptide having the same number of amino acid residues as the derivative.

The term “modified,” as used herein refers to any changes made to a given polypeptide, such as changes to the length of the polypeptide, the amino acid sequence, chemical structure, co-translational modification, or post-translational modification of a polypeptide. The form “(modified)” term means that the polypeptides being discussed are optionally modified, that is, the polypeptides under discussion can be modified or unmodified.

In some aspects, an antigen-binding construct comprises an amino acids sequence that is at least 80, 85, 90, 91, 92, 93, 94, 95, 96, 97, 98, 99, or 100% identical to a relevant amino acid sequence or fragment thereof set forth in the Table(s) or accession number(s) disclosed herein. In some aspects, an isolated antigen-binding construct comprises an amino acids sequence encoded by a polynucleotide that is at least 80, 85, 90, 91, 92, 93, 94, 95, 96, 97, 98, 99, or 100% identical to a relevant nucleotide sequence or fragment thereof set forth in Table(s) or accession number(s) disclosed herein.

Both HER2 binding domains are derived from trastuzumab in the Fab format and the Fc is a wild type homodimer; the antigen-binding domain binds to domain 4 of HER2. This antibody is also referred to as a trastuzumab analog.

v792, is wild-type trastuzumab with a IgG1 hinge, where both HER2 binding domains are derived from trastuzumab in the Fab format, and the and the Fc region is a heterodimer having the mutations T350V_L351Y_F405A_Y407V in Chain A, and T350V_T366L_K392L_T394W Chain B; the antigen-binding domain binds to domain 4 of HER2.

The antigen-binding domain binds to domain 2 of HER2. This antibody is also referred to as a pertuzumab analog.

hIgG, is a commercial non-specific polyclonal antibody control (Jackson ImmunoResearch, #009-000-003).

These antibodies and controls (other than human IgG) were cloned and expressed as follows. The genes encoding the antibody heavy and light chains were constructed via gene synthesis using codons optimized for human/mammalian expression. The Trastuzumab Fab sequence was generated from a known HER2/neu domain 4 binding antibody (Carter P. et al. (1992) Humanization of an anti p185 HER2 antibody for human cancer therapy. Proc Natl Acad Sci 89, 4285.) And the Fc was an IgG1 isotype. The scFv sequence was generated from the VH and VL domains of Trastuzumab using a glycine-serine linker (Carter P. et al. (1992) Humanization of an anti p185 her2 antibody for human cancer therapy. Proc Natl Acad Sci 89, 4285.). The Pertuzumab Fab sequence was generated from a known HER2/neu domain 2 binding Ab (Adams C W et al. (2006) Humanization of a recombinant monoclonal antibody to produce a therapeutic her dimerization inhibitor, Pertuzumab. Cancer Immunol Immunother. 2006; 55(6):717-27).

The final gene products were sub-cloned into the mammalian expression vector PTT5 (NRC-BRI, Canada) and expressed in CHO cells (Durocher, Y., Perret, S. & Kamen, A. High-level and high-throughput recombinant protein production by transient transfection of suspension-growing CHO cells. Nucleic acids research 30, e9 (2002)).

The CHO cells were transfected in exponential growth phase (1.5 to 2 million cells/ml) with aqueous 1 mg/ml 25 kDa polyethylenimine (PEI, polysciences) at a PEI:DNA ratio of 2.5:1.(Raymond C. et al. A simplified polyethylenimine-mediated transfection process for large-scale and high-throughput applications. Methods. 55(1):44-51 (2011)). To determine the optimal concentration range for forming heterodimers, the DNA was transfected in optimal DNA ratios of the heavy chain a (HC-A), light chain (LC), and heavy chain B (HC-B) that allow for heterodimer formation (e.g. HC-A/HC-B/LC ratios=30:30:40 (v5019). Transfected cells were harvested after 5-6 days with the culture medium collected after centrifugation at 4000 rpm and clarified using a 0.45 μm filter.

The clarified culture medium was loaded onto a MabSelect SuRe (GE Healthcare) protein-A column and washed with 10 column volumes of PBS buffer at pH 7.2. The antibody was eluted with 10 column volumes of citrate buffer at pH 3.6 with the pooled fractions containing the antibody neutralized with TRIS at pH 11.

The protein-A antibody eluate was further purified by gel filtration (SEC). For gel filtration, 3.5 mg of the antibody mixture was concentrated to 1.5 mL and loaded onto a Sephadex 200 HiLoad 16/600 200 pg column (GE Healthcare) via an AKTA Express FPLC at a flow-rate of 1 mL/min. PBS buffer at pH 7.4 was used at a flow-rate of 1 mL/min. Fractions corresponding to the purified antibody were collected, concentrated to ˜1 mg/mL.

Exemplary anti-HER2 ECD2x ECD4 biparatopic antibodies with different molecular formats (e.g. v6717, scFv-scFv IgG1; v6903 and v6902 Fab-Fab IgG1; v5019, v7091 and v10000 Fab-scFv IgG1) were cloned, expressed and purified as described above.

To quantify antibody purity and to determine the amount of target heterodimer protein and possible homodimer and/or half antibody and/or mispaired light chain contaminant, LC-MS intact mass analysis was performed. The LC-MS intact mass analysis was performed as described in Example 2, excluding DAR analysis calculations used for ADC molecules.

The data is shown in Table 2. Table 2 shows that expression and purification of these biparatopic antibodies resulted in 100% of the desired product for v6717, 91% of the desired heterodimeric product for v6903, and 62% of the desired product for v6902. The numbers in brackets indicate the quantities of the main peak plus a side peak of +81 Da. This side peak is typically detected with variants that contain C-terminal HA tags (such of v6903 and v6902). Adding the main and side peaks yields heterodimer purities of approximately 98% and 67% for v6903 and v6903. Based on the high heterodimer purity, v6903 was identified as the representative Fab-Fab anti-HER2 biparatopic variant for direct comparison to the scFv-scFv and Fab-scFv formats. v6903 was included in all format comparison assays.

Example 2 Preparation of Exemplary Anti-HER2 Biparatopic Antibody Drug Conjugates (ADCs)

The following anti-HER2 biparatopic antibody drug conjugates (anti-HER2 biparatopic-ADCs) were prepared. ADCs of variants 5019, 7091, 10000 and 506 were prepared. These ADCs are identified as follows:

v6363 (v5019 conjugated to DM1)

v7148 (v7091 conjugated to DM1)

v10553 (v10000 conjugated to DM1)

v6246 (v506 conjugated to DM1, analogous to T-DM1, trastuzumab-emtansine)

v6249 (human IgG conjugated to DM1)

The ADCs were prepared via direct coupling to maytansine. Antibodies purified by Protein A and SEC, as described in Example 1 (>95% purity), were used in the preparation of the ADC molecules. ADCs were conjugated following the method described in Kovtun Y V, Audette C A, Ye Y, et al. Antibody-drug conjugates designed to eradicate tumors with homogeneous and heterogeneous expression of the target antigen. Cancer Res 2006; 66:3214-21. The ADCs had an average molar ratio of 3.0 maytansinoid molecules per antibody as determined by LC/MS and described below.

Details of the reagents used in the ADC conjugation reaction are as follows: Conjugation Buffer 1: 50 mM Potassium Phosphate/50 mM Sodium Chloride, pH 6.5, 2 mM EDTA. Conjugation Buffer 2: 50 mM Sodium Succinate, pH 5.0. ADC formulation buffer: 20 mM Sodium Succinate, 6% (w/v) Trehalose, 0.02% polysorbate 20, pH 5.0. Dimethylacetamide (DMA); 10 mM SMCC in DMA (prepared before conjugation), 10 mM DM1-SH in DMA (prepared before conjugation), 1 mM DTNB in PBS, 1 mM Cysteine in buffer, 20 mM Sodium Succinate, pH 5.0. UV-VIS spectrophotometer (Nano drop 100 from Fisher Scientific), PD-10 columns (GE Healthcare).

The ADCs were prepared as follows. The starting antibody solution was loaded onto the PD-10 column, previously equilibrated with 25 mL of Conjugation Buffer 1, followed by 0.5 ml Conjugation Buffer 1. The antibody eluate was collect and the concentration measured at A₂₈₀ and the concentration was adjusted to 20 mg/mL. The 10 mM SMCC-DM1 solution in DMA was prepared. A 7.5 molar equivalent of SMCC-DM1 to antibody was added to the antibody solution and DMA was added to a final DMA volume of 10% v/v. The reaction was briefly mixed and incubated at RT for 2 h. A second PD-10 column was equilibrated with 25 ml of Conjugation Buffer 1 and the antibody-MCC-DM1 solution was added to the column follow by 0.5 ml of Buffer 1. The antibody-MCC-DM1 eluate was collected and the A₂₅₂ and A₂₈₀ of antibody solution was measured. The Antibody-MCC-DM1 concentration was calculated (□=1.45 mg⁻¹cm⁻¹, or 217500 M⁻¹cm⁻¹). The ADCs were analyzed on a SEC-HPLC column for high MW analysis (SEC-HPLC column TOSOH, G3000-SWXL, 7.8 mm×30 cm, Buffer, 100 mM Sodium phosphate, 300 mM Sodium Chloride, pH 7.0, flow rate: 1 ml/min).

ADC drug to antibody ratio (DAR) was analysed by HIC-HPLC_using the Tosoh TSK gel Butyl-NPR column (4.6 mm×3.5 mm×2.5 mm). Elution was performed at 1 ml/min using a gradient of 10-90% buffer B over 25 min followed by 100% buffer B for 4 min. Buffer A comprises 20 mM sodium phosphate, 1.5 M ammonium sulphate, pH 7.0. Buffer B comprises 20 mM sodium phosphate, 25% v/v isopropanol, pH 7.0.

ADC drug to antibody ratio (DAR) was determined by LC-MS by the following method. The antibodies were deglycosylated with PNGase F prior to loading on the LC-MS. Liquid chromatography was carried out on an Agilent 1100 Series HPLC under the following conditions:

Flow rate: 1 mL/min split post column to 100 uL/min to MS. Solvents: A=0.1% formic acid in ddH2O, B=65% acetonitrile, 25% THF, 9.9% ddH2O, 0.1% formic acid. Column: 2.1×30 mm PorosR2. Column Temperature: 80° C.; solvent also pre-heated. Gradient: 20% B (0-3 min), 20-90% B (3-6 min), 90-20% B (6-7 min), 20% B (7-9 min).

Mass Spectrometry (MS) was subsequently carried out on an LTQ-Orbitrap XL mass spectrometer under the following conditions: Ionization method using Ion Max Electrospray. Calibration and Tuning Method: 2 mg/mL solution of CsI is infused at a flowrate of 10 μL/min. The Orbitrap was tuned on m/z 2211 using the Automatic Tune feature (overall CsI ion range observed: 1690 to 2800). Cone Voltage: 40V; Tube Lens: 115V; FT Resolution: 7,500; Scan range m/z 400-4000; Scan Delay: 1.5 min. A molecular weight profile of the data was generated using Thermo's Promass deconvolution software. Average DAR of the sample was determined as a function of DAR observed at each fractional peak (using the calculation: Σ (DAR×fractional peak intensity)).

Table 3 summarizes the average DAR for the ADC molecules. The average DAR for the exemplary anti-HER2 biparatopic antibody and control was approximately 3.

Example 3 Expression and Bench-Scale Purification of Anti-HER2 Biparatopic Antibody

The anti-HER2 biparatopic antibodies (v5019, v7091 and v10000) described in Example 1 were expressed in 10 and/or 25 L volumes and purified by protein A and size exclusion chromatography (SEC) as follows.

The clarified culture medium was loaded onto a MabSelect SuRe (GE Healthcare) protein-A column and washed with 10 column volumes of PBS buffer at pH 7.2. The antibody was eluted with 10 column volumes of citrate buffer at pH 3.6 with the pooled fractions containing the antibody neutralized with Tris at pH 11.

The protein-A antibody eluate was further purified by gel filtration (SEC). For gel filtration, 3.5 mg of the antibody mixture was concentrated to 1.5 mL and loaded onto a Sephadex 200 HiLoad 16/600 200 pg column (GE Healthcare) via an AKTA Express FPLC at a flow-rate of 1 mL/min. PBS buffer at pH 7.4 was used at a flow-rate of 1 mL/min. Fractions corresponding to the purified antibody were collected, concentrated to ˜1 mg/mL. The purified proteins were analyzed by LC-MS as described in Example 2.

The results of the 10 L expression and bench-scale protein A and SEC purification are shown in FIGS. 2A and 2B. FIG. 2A shows the SEC chromatograph of the protein A purified v5019 and FIG. 2B shows the non-reducing SDS-PAGE gel that compares the relative purity of a protein A pooled fraction as well as SEC fractions 15 and 19 and pooled SEC fractions 16-18. These results show that the anti-HER2 biparatopic antibody was expressed and that purification by protein A and SEC yielded a pure protein sample. Further quantification was performed by UPLC-SEC and LC-MS analysis and is described in Example 4.

The results of the 25 L expression and bench-scale protein A purification is shown in FIG. 2C. FIG. 2C shows SDS-PAGE gel that compares the relative purity of a protein A purified v10000. Lane M contains: protein marker; lane 1 contains: v10000 under reducing conditions; lane 2 contains v10000 under non-reducing conditions. The SDS-PAGE gel shows that v10000 is pure and runs at the correct predicted MW of approximately 125 kDa under non-reducing conditions. Under reducing conditions two heavy chains bands are visible corresponding to the CH-A heavy chain (approximately 49 kDa) and the CH-B heavy chain (approximately 52.5 kDa); the CH-A light chain is visible and runs at the correct predicted mass of approximately 23.5 kDa. These results show that the anti-HER2 biparatopic antibody was expressed and that one-step purification by protein A yielded a pure protein sample. Further quantification was performed by UPLC-SEC and LC-MS analysis and is described in Example 4.

Example 4 Analysis of Biparatopic Anti-HER2 Antibody Purity by UPLC-SEC and LC-MS

The purity and percent aggregation of exemplary protein A and SEC purified biparatopic anti-HER2 heteromultimers was determined by UPLC-SEC by the method described.

UPLC-SEC analysis was performed using a Waters BEH200 SEC column set to 30° C. (2.5 mL, 4.6×150 mm, stainless steel, 1.7 μm particles) at 0.4 ml/min. Run times consisted of 7 min and a total volume per injection of 2.8 mL with running buffers of 25 mM sodium phosphate, 150 mM sodium acetate, pH 7.1; and, 150 mM sodium phosphate, pH 6.4-7.1. Detection by absorbance was facilitated at190-400 nm and by fluorescence with excitation at 280 nm and emission collected from 300-360 nm. Peak integration was analyzed by Empower 3 software.

UPLC-SEC results of the pooled v5019 SEC fractions are shown in FIG. 3A. These results indicate that the exemplary anti-HER2 biparatopic antibody was purified to >99% purity with less than 1% HMW species by protein A and SEC chromatography.

UPLC-SEC results of the v10000 pooled Protein A fractions are shown in FIG. 3B. These results indicate that the exemplary anti-HER2 biparatopic antibody was purified to >96% purity with less than 1% HMW species by protein A chromatography.

Example 5 Large-Scale Expression and Manufacturability Assessment of Biparatopic Anti-HER2 Antibody Purified by Protein A and CEX Chromatography

The exemplary anti-HER2 biparatopic antibody v5019 described in Example 1 was expressed in a 25 L scale and purified as follows.

Antibody was obtained from supernatant followed by a two-step purification method that consisted of Protein A purification (MabSelect™ resin; GE Healthcare) followed by cation exchange chromatography (HiTrap™ SP FF resin; GE Healthcare) by the protocol described.

CHO-3E7 cells were maintained in serum-free Freestyle CHO expression medium (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, Calif., USA) in Erlenmeyer Flasks at 37° C. with 5% CO2 (Corning Inc., Acton, Mass.) on an orbital shaker (VWR Scientific, Chester, Pa.). Two days before transfection, the cells were seeded at an appropriate density in a 50 L CellBag with a volume of 25 L using the Wave Bioreactor System 20/50 (GE Healthcare Bio-Science Corp). On the day of transfection, DNA and PEI (Polysciences, Eppelheim, Germany) were mixed at an optimal ratio and added to the cells using the method described in Example 1. Cell supernatants collected on day 6 was used for further purification.

Cell culture broth was centrifuged and filtered before loading onto 30 mL Mabselect™ resin packed in XK26/20 (GE Healthcare, Uppsala, Sweden) at 10.0 mL/min. After washing and elution with appropriate buffer, the fractions were collected and neutralized with 1 M Tris-HCl, pH 9.0. The target protein was further purified via 20 mL SP FF resin packed in XK16/20 (GE Healthcare, Uppsala, Sweden). MabSelect™ purified sample was diluted with 20 mM NaAC, pH5.5 to adjust the conductivity to <5 ms/cm and 50 mM citrate acid (pH3.0) was added adjust the sample pH value to 5.5. Sample was loaded at a 1 mL/min onto the HiTrap™ SP FF resin (GE Healthcare) and washed with 20 mM NaAC. Protein was eluted using a gradient elution 0-100% of 20 mM NaAC, 1 M NaCl, pH5.5, 10 CV at 1 mL/min.

The purified protein was analyzed by SDS-PAGE as described in Example 1, and LC-MS for heterodimer purity by the method described in example 4. The results are shown in FIGS. 5A and 5B. FIG. 5A shows the SDS-PAGE results of v5019 following MabSelect™ and HiTrap™ SP FF purification; lane M contains: protein marker; lane 1: v5019 under reducing conditions (3 μg); Lane 2: v5019 under non-reducing conditions (2.5 μg). The SDS-PAGE gel shows that v5019 is relatively pure following MabSelect™ and HiTrap™ SP FF purification and, under non-reducing conditions, runs at the correct predicted MW of approximately 125 kDa. Under reducing conditions two heavy chains bands are visible corresponding to the CH-A heavy chain (approximately 49 kDa) and the CH-B heavy chain (approximately 52.5 kDa); the CH-A light chain is visible and runs at the correct predicted mass of approximately 23.5 kDa.

LC-MS analysis of the MabSelect™ and HiTrap™ SP FF purified v5019 was performed to determine heterodimer purity using the method described in Example 4. Results from the LC-MS analysis are shown in FIG. 5B. These results show that v5019 purification using MabSelect™ and HiTrap™ SP FF yields protein with >99% heterodimer purity and with little (<1%) or undetectable homodimer or half antibody contamination.

Example 6 Comparison of Bmax of a Biparatopic Anti-HER2 Antibody Against Bmax of Controls in Cell Lines Expressing Low to High Levels of HER2

The following experiment was performed to measure the ability of an exemplary biparatopic anti-HER2 antibody to bind to cells expressing varying levels of HER2 in comparison to controls. The cell lines used were SKOV3 (HER2 2+/3+), JIMT-1 (HER2 2+), MDA-MB-231 (HER2 0/1+), and MCF7 (HER2 1+). The biparatopic anti-HER2 antibodies tested include v5019, v7091 and v10000. The ability of the biparatopic anti-HER2 antibodies to bind to the HER2 expressing (HER2+) cells was determined as described below, with specific measurement of B_(max) and apparent K_(D) (equilibrium dissociation constant).

Binding of the test antibodies to the surface of HER2+ cells was determined by flow cytometry. Cells were washed with PBS and resuspended in DMEM at 1×10⁵ cells/100 μl. 100 μl cell suspension was added into each microcentrifuge tube, followed by 10 μl/tube of the antibody variants. The tubes were incubated for 2 hr 4° C. on a rotator. The microcentrifuge tubes were centrifuged for 2 min 2000 RPM at room temperature and the cell pellets washed with 500 μl media. Each cell pellet was resuspended 100 μl of fluorochrome-labelled secondary antibody diluted in media to 2 μg/sample. The samples were then incubated for 1 hr at 4° C. on a rotator. After incubation, the cells were centrifuged for 2 min at 2000 rpm and washed in media. The cells were resuspended in 500 μl media, filtered in tube containing 5 μl propidium iodide (PI) and analyzed on a BD LSR II flow cytometer according to the manufacturer's instructions. The K_(D) of exemplary biparatopic anti-HER2 heterodimer antibody and control antibodies were assessed by FACS with data analysis and curve fitting performed in GraphPad Prism.

The results are shown in FIGS. 6A-6G. These results demonstrate that exemplary biparatopic anti-HER2 antibodies (v5019, v7091 and v10000) can bind to HER2+ cells with approximately a 1.5-fold higher Bmax compared to an anti-HER2 FSA (v506).

The results also show that exemplary biparatopic anti-HER2 antibody (v5019) displays equivalent Bmax compared to the combination of two anti-HER2 FSAs (v506+v4184). The apparent K_(D) of v5019 for binding to SKOV3 was approximately 2 to 4-fold higher compared to either anti-HER2 FSA alone (v506 or v4184), or the combination of two anti-HER2 FSAs (v506+v4184).

The results in FIG. 6C also show that exemplary biparatopic anti-HER2 antibody (v5019) displays equivalent Bmax compared to the combination of two anti-HER2 FSAs (v506+v4184). The apparent K_(D) of v5019 for binding to MCF7 was similar to the anti-HER2 FSA (v506) and the combination of two anti-HER2 FSAs (v506+v4184).

These results show that exemplary biparatopic anti-HER2 antibody (v5019) displays approximately a 1.5-fold higher Bmax in binding to MDA-MB-231 cells compared to an anti-HER2 FSA (v506). The results also show that exemplary biparatopic anti-HER2 antibody (v5019) displays equivalent Bmax compared to the combination of two anti-HER2 FSAs (v506+v4184). The apparent K_(D) of v5019 for binding to MDA-MB-231 was approximately 2.4-fold lower compared to the anti-HER2 FSA (v506) and was approximately 1.7-fold higher compared to the combination of two anti-HER2 FSAs (v506+v4184).

Binding curves in the WI-38 lung fibroblast cell line are shown in FIG. 6G and Table 10. The WI-38 cell line is a normal lung epithelium that expresses basal levels (HER2 0+, ˜10,000 receptors/cell) of HER2 (Carter et al. 1992, PNAS, 89:4285-4289; Yarden 2000, HER2: Basic Research, Prognosis and Therapy). These results show that exemplary biparatopic anti-HER2 antibodies (v5019, v7091, v10000) displays equivalent cell surface decoration (Bmax) in binding to WI-38 cells compared to an anti-HER2 FSAs (v506); however, note that binding for v506 did not appear to reach saturation, and thus KD could not be determined. The apparent K_(D) among the exemplary biparatopic anti-HER2 antibodies was equivalent.

TABLE 10 Binding to WI-38 cells Antibody Variant K_(D) (nM) Bmax v506 Not determined ~366 v5019 7.0 380 v7091 8.3 371 v10000 8.4 418

These results show that an exemplary biparatopic anti-HER2 antibody can bind to HER2 1+, 2+ and 3+ tumor cells to levels that are approximately 1.5 to 1.6-fold greater than an anti-HER2 monospecific FSA, and that exemplary biparatopic anti-HER2 antibodies can bind to HER2 1+, 2+ and 3+ tumor cells to equivalent levels compared to the combination of two unique monospecific anti-HER2 FSAs with different epitope specificities. These results also show that the biparatopic anti-HER2 antibodies do not show increased binding (i.e. compared to monospecific anti-HER2 antibody, v506) to basal HER2 expressing cells that express approximately 10,000 HER2 receptors/cell or less, and that a threshold for increased cell surface binding to the biparatopic anti-HER2 antibodies occurs when the HER2 receptor level is approximately >10,000 receptors/cell. Based on this data it would be expected that the exemplary biparatopic anti-HER2 antibodies would have increased cell surface binding to HER2 3+, 2+ and 1+ tumor cells but would not have increased cell surface binding to non-tumor cells that express basal levels of the HER2 receptor at approximately 10,000 receptors or less.

The ability of the biparatopic anti-HER2 antibodies to inhibit the growth of BT-474 cells (200 nM antibody); SKOV3, SKBr3 and JIMT-1 cells (300 nM antibody) was measured as described below.

Test antibodies were diluted in media and added to the cells at 10 μl/well in triplicate. The plates were incubated for 3 days 37° C. Cell viability was measured using either AlamarBlue™ (Biosource #dal1100), or Celltiter-Glo® and absorance read as per the manufacturer's instructions. Data was normalized to untreated control and analysis was performed in GraphPad prism.

The growth inhibition results are shown in FIG. 7A-E. A summary of the results is provided in Tables 11A and 11B. The results FIGS. 7A-B and Table 11A indicate that exemplary anti-HER2 biparatopic (v5019) is capable of growth inhibition of HER2+SKOV3 and BT-474 cell lines. FIG. 10A shows that anti-HER2 biparatopic antibody mediated the greatest growth inhibition of SKOV3 when compared to anti-HER2 FSA (v506) and when compared to the combination of two anti-HER2 FSA antibodies (v506+v4184).

FIG. 7D shows that anti-HER2 biparatopic antibodies (v7091 and v10000) mediated the greatest growth inhibition of HER2 3+SKOV3 ovarian tumor cells. FIG. 7E shows that anti-HER2 biparatopic antibodies (v7091 and v10000) mediated the greatest growth inhibition of HER2 2+ Herceptin-resistant JIMT-1 tumor cells. In all cell lines tested, exemplary anti-HER2 biparatopic antibodies (v7091 and v10000) mediated greater growth inhibition compared to the anti-HER2 FSA monospecific antibody (v506).

These results show that exemplary saturating concentrations of biparatopic anti-HER2 antibodies can growth inhibit HER2 3+ and 2+ breast and ovarian and HER2 2+ Trastuzumab resistant tumor cells approximately 20% greater than a FSA anti-HER2 monospecific antibody.

Example 8 Preferential Binding of Paratopes of Biparatopic Anti-HER2 Antibodies to Dimeric HER2 Compared to HER2 ECD

This experiment was performed to determine the ability of the individual paratopes of exemplary biparatopic anti-HER2 antibodies to bind to dimeric HER2 and the HER2 ECD as a surrogate for differential binding between membrane bound HER2 (HER2-Fc) and the shed HER2 ECD. The experiment was carried out as follows.

Surface plasmon resonance (SPR) analysis: affinity of monovalent anti-HER2 antibodies (v1040 or v4182) for binding to the HER2 extracellular domain (sHER-2, Ebioscience BMS362,_encoding amino acid 23-652 of the full length protein) and HER2-Fc (dimeric HER2-Fc fusion encoding the amino acid 1-652 of the extracellular domain; Sino Biological Inc., 10004-H02H) was measured by SPR using the T200 system from Biacore (GE Healthcare). Binding to the HER2 ECD was determined by the following method. HER2 ECD in 10 mm Hepes pH 6.8, was immobilized on CMS chip through amine coupling to a level of 44 RU (response units). Monovalent anti-HER2 antibodies were passed over the surface of the HER2 immobilized chip at concentrations ranging from 0.76-60 nM. Binding to the HER2-Fc was determined by the following method. HER2-Fc in 10 mm Hepes pH 6.8, was immobilized on CMS chip through amine coupling to a level of 43 RU. Monovalent anti-HER2 antibodies were passed over the surface of the HER2 immobilized chip at concentrations ranging from 0.76-60 nM. Antibody concentrations were analyzed for binding in triplicate. Equilibrium dissociation binding constants (K_(D)) and kinetics (ka and kd) were determined using the single cycle kinetics method. Sensograms were fit globally to a 1:1 Langmuir binding model. All experiments were conducted at room temperature.

Results are shown in FIG. 8A, FIG. 8B, Table 11C and Table 11D. The results in FIG. 8A and Table 11C show SPR binding data of the monovalent anti-HER2 antibody (v1040; representing the antigen-binding domain on CH-B of exemplary anti-HER2 biparatopic antibody). FIG. 8A illustrates the K_(D) values (nM) of v1040 binding to immobilized HER2 ECD or HER2-Fc and shows that monovalent anti-HER2 antibody has a lower K_(D) for binding to the HER2-Fc compared to the HER2 ECD. Table 11C shows the ka (1/M s) and kd (1/s) values of the monovalent anti-HER2 antibody (OA) compared to the full-sized anti-HER2 antibody (FSA) in binding to the HER2 ECD and HER2-FC (‘HER2 mem’). This data shows comparable on (ka) and off (kd) rates of the OA and FSA for binding to the HER2 ECD and HER2-Fc.

FIG. 8B illustrates the K_(D) values (nM) of v4182 binding to immobilized HER2 ECD or HER2-Fc and shows that monovalent anti-HER2 antibody has a lower K_(D) for binding to the HER2-Fc compared to the HER2 ECD. Table 11D shows the ka (1/M s) and kd (1/s) values of the monovalent anti-HER2 antibody (OA) compared to the full-sized anti-HER2 antibody (FSA) in binding to the HER2 ECD and HER2-FC (‘HER2 mem’). This data shows comparable on rates (ka) and off rates (kd) of the OA and FSA for binding to the HER2 ECD and HER2-Fc.

These data show that each of the paratopes of the exemplary anti-HER2 biparatopic antibody have lower K_(D) values for binding to the dimeric HER2 antigen, a representative of membrane bound HER2, as compared to the HER2 ECD. Based on this data it would be expected that the exemplary anti-HER2 antibody would have a higher binding affinity for the membrane bound HER2 antigen as compared to the shed HER2 ECD that is present in the serum of diseased patients and can act as a sink for the therapeutic antibody (Brodowicz T, et al. Soluble HER-2/neu neutralizes biologic effects of anti-HER-2/neu antibody on breast cancer cells in vitro. Int J Cancer. 1997; 73:875-879). For example, baseline HER2 ECD levels ≦15 ng/mL; whereas patients with progressive disease have HER2 ECD≧38 ng/mL.

Example 9 Whole Cell Loading and Internalization of Biparatopic Anti-HER2 Antibody in HER2+ Cells

This experiment was performed to assess the ability of an exemplary biparatopic anti-HER2 antibody to be internalized in HER2 2+ cells. The direct internalization method was followed according to the protocol detailed in Schmidt, M. et al., Kinetics of anti-carcinoembryonic antigen antibody internalization: effects of affinity, bivalency, and stability. Cancer Immunol Immunother (2008) 57:1879-1890. Specifically, the antibodies were directly labeled using the AlexaFluor® 488 Protein Labeling Kit (Invitrogen, cat. no. A10235), according to the manufacturer's instructions.

For the internalization assay, 12 well plates were seeded with 1×10⁵ cells/well and incubated overnight at 37° C.+5% CO2. The following day, the labeled antibodies were added at 200 nM in DMEM+10% FBS and incubated 24 hours at 37° C.+5% CO2. Under dark conditions, media was aspirated and wells were washed 2×500 μL PBS. To harvest cells, cell dissociation buffer was added (250 μL) at 37° C. Cells were pelleted and resuspended in 100 μL DMEM+10% FBS without or with anti-Alexa Fluor 488, rabbit IgG fraction (Molecular Probes, A11094) at 50 μg/mL, and incubated on ice for 30 min. Prior to analysis 300 μL DMEM+10% FBS the samples filtered 4 μl propidium iodide was added. Samples were analyzed using the LSRII flow cytometer.

FIG. 10E shows the results in SKOV3 cells following incubation with the exemplary anti-HER2 biparatopic antibodies, v5019, v7091 and v10000. These results show that incubation of exemplary anti-HER2 biparatopic antibodies results in 1.5 to 1.8-fold more internalized antibody with SKOV3 cells compared to the anti-HER2 FSA control.

Incubation with the anti-HER2 biparatopic antibodies (v5019 and v10000) for 24 h resulted in the greatest reduction (˜64%) of antibody detected on the surface of whole cells.

These results show that exemplary anti-HER2 biparatopic antibodies have superior internalization properties in HER2+ cells compared to a monospecific anti-HER2 FSA. The reduction of surface antibody detected following 24 h incubation at 37° C. shows that an exemplary anti-HER2 biparatopic antibody is capable of reducing the amount of cell surface HER2 receptor following incubation in HER2+ cells and that surface HER2 reduction post incubation is greatest in HER2 2+ tumor cells.

Example 10 Cellular Staining and Location of an Anti-HER2 Biparatopic Antibody Following Incubation with HER2+ Cells at 1, 3 and 16 Hours

This experiment was performed to analyze internalization of the exemplary anti-HER2 biparatopic antibody in HER2+ JIMT-1 cells at different time points and as an orthogonal method to that presented in Example 9 to analyze whole cell loading and internalization.

JIMT-1 cells were incubated with the antibody (v506, v4184, v5019, or a combination of v506 and v4184) at 200 nM in serum-free DMEM, 37 ° C.+5% CO₂ for 1 h, 3 h and 16 h. Cells were gently washed two times with warmed sterile PBS (500 ml/well). Cells were fixed with 250 ml of 10% formalin/PBS solution for 10 min at RT. The fixed cells were washed three times with PBS (500 μl/well), permeabilized with 250 μl/well of PBS containing 0.2% Triton X-100 for 5 min, and washed three times with 500 μl/well PBS. Cells were blocked with 500 μl/well of PBS+5% goat serum for 1 h at RT. Blocking buffer was removed, and 300 μl/well secondary antibody (Alexa Fluor 488-conjugated AffiniPure Fab Fragment Goat anti-Human IgG (H+L); Jackson ImmunoResearch Laboritories, Inc.;109-547-003) was incubated for 1 h at RT. Cells were washed three times with 500 μl/well of PBS and the coverslips containing fixed cells were then mounted on a slide using Prolong gold anti-fade with DAPI (Life Technologies; #P36931). 60× single images were acquired using Olympus FV1000 Confocal microscope.

The results indicated that the exemplary anti-HER2 biparatopic antibody (v5019) was internalized into JIMT-1 cells at 3 h and was primarily located close to the nuclei. Comparing images at the 3 h incubation showed a greater amount of internal staining associated with the anti-HER2 biparatopic antibody compared to the combination of two anti-HER2 FSAs (v506+v4184) and compared to the individual anti-HER2 FSA (v506 or v4184). Differences in the cellular location of antibody staining were seen when the anti-HER2 biparatopic antibody (v5019) results were compared with the anti-HER2 FSA (v4184); where the anti-HER2 FSA (v4184) showed pronounced plasma membrane staining at the 1, 3 and 16 h time points. The amount of detectable antibody was reduced at the 16 h for the anti-HER2 FSA (v506), the combination of two anti-HER2 FSAs (v506+v4184) and anti-HER2 biparatopic antibody treatments (data not shown).

These results show that the exemplary anti-HER2 biparatopic antibody v5019 was internalized in HER2+ cells and the internalized antibody was detectable after 3 h incubation. These results are consistent with the results presented in Example 9 that show exemplary anti-HER2 biparatopic antibody can internalize to greater amounts in HER2+ cells compared to an anti-HER2 FSA.

Example 11 ADCC of HER2+ Cells Mediated by Biparatopic Anti-HER2 Antibody Compared to Controls

This experiment was performed in order to measure the ability of an exemplary biparatopic anti-HER2 antibody to mediate ADCC in SKOV3 cells (ovarian cancer, HER2 2+/3+).

Target cells were pre-incubated with test antibodies (10-fold descending concentrations from 45 μg/ml) for 30 min followed by adding effector cells with effector/target cell ratio of 5:1 and the incubation continued for 6 hours at 37° C.+5% CO₂. Samples were tested with 8 concentrations, 10 fold descending from 45 μg/ml. LDH release was measured using LDH assay kit.

Dose-response studies were performed with various concentrations of the samples with a effector/target (E/T) ratios of 5:1. 3:1 and 1:1. Half maximal effective concentration (EC₅₀) values were analyzed with the sigmoidal dose-response non-linear regression fit using GraphPad prism.

Cells were maintained in McCoy's 5a complete medium at 37° C./5% CO₂ and regularly sub-cultured with suitable medium supplemented with 10% FBS according to protocol from ATCC. Cells with passage number fewer than p10 were used in the assays. The samples were diluted to concentrations between 0.3-300 nM with phenol red free DMEM medium supplemented with 1% FBS and 1% pen/strep prior to use in the assay.

The ADCC results in HER2+SKOV3 cells at an effector to target cell ratio of 5:1 are shown in FIG. 11A and Table 12. These results show that the exemplary biparatopic anti-HER2 antibody (v5019) mediated the greatest percentage of maximum target cell lysis by ADCC when compared to the anti-HER2 FSA (v792) and combination of two different anti-HER2 FSAs (v792+v4184). The difference in maximum cell lysis mediated by the exemplary biparatopic anti-HER2 antibody was approximately 1.6-fold greater compared to the anti-HER2 FSA, and approximately 1.2-fold greater compared to a combination of two different anti-HER2 FSAs (v792+v4184).

TABLE 12 Antibody variant EC₅₀ (nM) % Max Cell Lysis v792 ~0.032 17.82 v5019 ~0.164 28.57 v792 + v4184 ~0.042 23.85

The ADCC results in HER2+SKOV3 cells at an effector to target cell ratio of 3:1 are shown in FIG. 11B and Table 13. These results show that the exemplary biparatopic anti-HER2 antibody (v5019) mediated the greatest percentage of maximum target cell lysis by ADCC when compared to the anti-HER2 FSA (v792) and combination of two different anti-HER2 FSAs (v792+v4184). The difference in maximum cell lysis mediated by the exemplary biparatopic anti-HER2 antibody was approximately 1.3-fold greater compared to the anti-HER2 FSA, and approximately 1.8-fold greater compared to a combination of two different anti-HER2 FSAs (v792+v4184).

TABLE 13 Antibody variant EC₅₀ (nM) % Max Cell Lysis v792 1.064 16.9 v5019 ~0.4608 22.3 v792 + v4184 ~1.078 123

The ADCC results in HER2+SKOV3 cells at an effector to target cell ratio of 1:1 are shown in FIG. 11C and Table 14. These results show that the exemplary biparatopic anti-HER2 antibody (v5019) mediated the greatest percentage of maximum target cell lysis by ADCC when to compared to the anti-HER2 FSA (v792) and combination of two different anti-HER2 FSAs (v792+v4184). The difference in maximum cell lysis mediated by the exemplary biparatopic anti-HER2 antibody was approximately 1.8-fold greater compared to the anti-HER2 FSA, and approximately 1.13-fold greater compared to a combination of two different anti-HER2 FSAs (v792+v4184).

TABLE 14 Antibody variant EC₅₀ (nM) % Max Cell Lysis v792 1.429 7.529 v5019 ~1.075 13.29 v792 + v4184 ~0.1121 11.73

The results in FIG. 11 and Tables 12-14 show that the exemplary biparatopic HER2 antibody mediates the greatest ADCC of SKOV3 cells at different E:T ratios when compared to an anti-HER2 FSA and combination of two anti-HER2 FSAs. The observation of increased ADCC mediated by the anti-HER2 biparatopic antibody would be expected in HER2+ diseased patients who express variable and/or reduced circulating effector cells following chemotherapy (Suzuki E. et al. Clin Cancer Res 2007; 13:1875-1882).The observations in FIG. 11 are consistent with the whole cell binding Bmax data presented in Example 6, that shows an approximate 1.5-fold increase in cell binding to the exemplary anti-HER2 biparatopic antibody compared to the anti-HER2 FSA.

Example 12 Ability of Exemplary Anti-HER2 Antibody to Bind to HER2 ECD

An SPR assay was used to evaluate the mechanism by which an exemplary anti-HER2 biparatopic antibody binds to HER2 ECD; specifically, to understand whether both paratopes of one biparatopic antibody molecule can bind to one HER2 ECD (Cis binding; 1:1 antibody to HER2 molecules) or if each paratope of one biparatopic antibody can bind two different HER2 ECDs (Trans binding; 1:2 antibody to HER2 molecules). A representation of cis vs. trans binding is illustrated in FIG. 14. The correlation between a reduced (slower) off-rate with increasing antibody capture levels (surface density) is an indication of Trans binding (i.e. one antibody molecule binding to two HER2 molecules.

Affinity and binding kinetics of the exemplary biparatopic anti-HER2 antibody (v5019) to recombinant human HER2 were measured and compared to that of monovalent anti-HER2 antibodies (v630 or v4182; comprising the individual paratopes of v5019) was measured by SPR using the T200 system from Biacore (GE Healthcare). Between 2000 and 4000 RU of anti-human Fc injected at concentration between 5 and 10 μg/ml was immobilized on a CM5 chip using standard amine coupling. Monovalent anti-HER2 antibody (v630 or v4182) and exemplary biparatopic anti-HER2 antibody (v5019) were captured on the anti-human Fc (injected at concentration ranging 0.08 to 8 μg/ml in PBST, 1 min at 10 ul/min) at response levels ranging from 350-15 RU. Recombinant human HER2 was diluted in PBST and injected at starting concentration of either 120 nM, 200 nM or 300 nM with 3-fold dilutions and injected at a flow rate of 50 μl/min for 3 minutes, followed by dissociation for another 30 minutes at the end of the last injection. HER2 dilutions were analyzed in duplicate. Sensograms were fit globally to a 1:1 Langmuir binding model. All experiments were conducted at 25° C.

The results are shown in FIG. 12 and FIG. 13.

The results in FIG. 12A show the ka (1/Ms) of monovalent anti-HER2 (v630 and v4182) and exemplary biparatopic anti-HER2 antibody (v5019) for binding to recombinant human HER2 over a range of injected and captured antibody concentrations on the surface of the chip. These results show that ka does not change when for v630, v4182 and v5019 at different antibody capture levels.

The results in FIG. 12B show the kd (1/s) of monovalent anti-HER2 (v630 and v4182) and exemplary biparatopic anti-HER2 antibody (v5019) for binding to recombinant human HER2 over a range of injected and captured antibody concentrations on the surface of the chip. These results show that kd decreased only for the exemplary anti-HER2 biparatopic antibody (v5019) at increasing antibody capture levels.

The results in FIG. 12C show the K_(D) (M) of monovalent anti-HER2 (v630 and v4182) and exemplary biparatopic anti-HER2 antibody (v5019) for binding to recombinant human HER2 over a range of injected and captured antibody concentrations on the surface of the chip. These results show that K_(D) decreased only for the exemplary anti-HER2 biparatopic antibody (v5019) at increasing antibody capture levels. This result correlated to the decreasing kd values shown in FIG. 15B.

The results in FIG. 13A show the kd (1/s) of exemplary biparatopic anti-HER2 antibody (v5019) for binding to recombinant human HER2 over a range of antibody capture levels. These results show kd values are inversely proportional to higher RUs of antibody captured on the surface of the chip (i.e slower off-rates at higher antibody capture levels). The results indicate that exemplary biparatopic anti-HER2 antibody (v5019) is capable of binding HER2 ECD2 and HER2 ECD4 on two separate HER2 molecules (i.e. trans binding) as is evidenced by the reduction in off-rate at higher antibody capture levels. This data is supported by a similar experiment presented in FIG. 47 and discussed in Example 43, where bivalent monospecific anti-HER2 FSA (v506) demonstrated Cis binding (1:1 antibody to HER2) where the kd (1/s) and K_(D) (M) values remained constant at increasing antibody capture levels as is expected for this molecule.

The results in FIG. 13B show the kd (1/s) of monovalent anti-HER2 antibody (v4182) for binding to recombinant human HER2 over a range of antibody capture levels. These results show no change in kd values over the range of different antibody RUs captured on the surface of the chip. These results show that monovalent anti-HER2 antibody (v4182) is binding monovalently 1:1 (cis binding).

The results in FIG. 13C show the kd (1/s) of monovalent anti-HER2 antibody (v630) for binding to recombinant human HER2 over a range of antibody capture levels. These results show no change in kd values over the range of different antibody RUs captured on the surface of the chip. These results show that monovalent anti-HER2 antibody (v630) is binding monovalently 1:1 (cis binding). This data is supported by the experiment presented in FIG. 47 and discussed in Example 43X, where the bivalent monospecific anti-HER2 FSA (v506) showed no change in kd (1/s).

The results in FIG. 12, and FIG. 13 indicate that exemplary biparatopic anti-HER2 antibody (v5019) is capable of simultaneously binding to two HER2 molecules in trans (antibody to HER2 ratio 1:2). The trans mechanism of binding detected by SPR is consistent with the higher cell surface saturation binding data (Bmax), presented in Example 6, in combination with the internalization data presented in Examples 9 and 10.

Example 13 Effect of Exemplary Biparatopic Anti-HER2 Antibody Incubation on AKT Phosphorylation in BT-474 Cells

The ability of an exemplary anti-HER2 biparatopic antibody to reduce pAKT signaling in BT-474 cells was tested using the AKT Colorimetric In-Cell ELISA Kit (Thermo Scientific; cat no. 62215) according to the manufacturer's instructions with the following modifications. Cells were seeded at 5×10³/well and incubated 24 h at 37° C.+5% CO₂. Cells were incubated with 100 nM antibody for with 30 min followed by a 15 min incubation with rhHRG-β1. Cells were washed, fixed, and permeabilized according to the instructions. Secondary antibodies (1:5000; Jackson ImmunoReasearch, HRP-donkey anti-mouse IgG, JIR, Cat#715-036-150, HRP-donkey anti-rabbit IgG, JIR, Cat#711-036-452) were added and the assay processed according to the manufacturer's instructions.

The results in FIG. 15 show that incubation with exemplary anti-HER2 biparatopic antibody mediated an approximate 1.2-fold reduction in p-Akt levels in the presence of HRGβ1 relative to the human IgG control (CTL). The combination of two anti-HER2 FSAs (v506+v4184) mediated the greatest reduction in p-Akt levels in the presence HRGβ1 that was approximately 1.5-fold less compared to the human IgG control. A modest reduction in p-Akt was detected with the exemplary anti-HER2 biparatopic antibody in the absence of ligand (HRGβ1) compared to the human IgG control antibody.

These data show that exemplary anti-HER2 biparatopic antibody can block ligand-activated signaling in HER2+ cells.

Example 14 Effect of Biparatopic Anti-HER2 Antibody on Cardiomyocyte Viability

The effect of exemplary biparatopic anti-HER2 antibodies and ADCs on cardiomyocyte viability was measured in order to obtain a preliminary indication of potentially cardiotoxic effects.

iCell cardiomyocytes (Cellular Dynamics International, CMC-100-010), that express basal levels of the HER2 receptor, were grown according the manufacturer's instructions and used as target cells to assess cardiomyocyte health following antibody treatment. The assay was performed as follows. Cells were seeded in 96-well plates (15,000 cells/well) and maintained for 48 h. The cell medium was replaced with maintenance media and cells were maintained for 72 h. To access the effects of antibody-induced cardiotoxicity, cells were treated for 72 h with 10 and 100 nM of, variants alone or in combinations. To access the effects of anthracycline-induced cardiotoxicity (alone or in combination with the exemplary biparatopic anti-HER2 antibodies), cells were treated with 3 uM (˜IC₂₀) of doxorubicin for 1 hr followed by 72 h with 10 and 100 nM of, antibody variants alone or in combinations. Cell viability was assessed by quantitating cellular ATP levels with the CellTiter-Glo® Luminescent Cell Viability Assay (Promega, G7570) and/or Sulphorhodamine (Sigma 230162-5G) as per the manufacturer's instructions.

The results are shown in FIG. 16A-C. The results in FIG. 16A show that incubation of the cardiomyocytes with therapeutically relevant concentrations of exemplary anti-HER2 biparatopic antibody (v5019) and exemplary anti-HER2 biparatopic-ADC (v6363), did not affect cardiomyocyte viability relative to the untreated control (‘mock’).

The results in FIG. 16B show that incubation of the cardiomyocytes with therapeutically relevant concentrations of exemplary anti-HER2 biparatopic antibodies (v5019, v7091 and v10000), and exemplary anti-HER2 biparatopic-ADCs (v6363, v7148 and v10553), had no effect on cardiomyocyte viability relative to the untreated control (‘mock’). Based on the results in FIGS. 16A and 16B it is expected that exemplary anti-HER2 biparatopic antibodies and exemplary anti-HER2 biparatopic-ADCs should not induce cardiomyopathy, for example through mitochondrial dysfunction, as is reported with other anti-HER2 targeting antibodies (Grazette L. P. et al. Inhibition of ErbB2 Causes Mitochondrial Dysfunction in Cardiomyocytes; Journal of the American College of Cardiology: 2004; 44:11).

The results in FIG. 16C show that pretreatment of the cardiomyocytes with doxorubicin followed by incubation with therapeutically relevant concentrations of exemplary anti-HER2 biparatopic antibodies (v5019, v7091 and v10000) and exemplary anti-HER2 biparatopic-ADCs (v6363, v7148 and v10553), had no effect on cardiomyocyte viability relative to the untreated control+doxorubicin (‘Mock+Dox’). Based on the results in FIG. 16C it is expected that exemplary anti-HER2 biparatopic antibodies and exemplary anti-HER2 biparatopic-ADCs should not result in an increased risk of cardiac dysfunction in patients receiving concurrent anthracycline treatment (Seidman A, Hudis C, Pierri M K, et al. Cardiac dysfunction in the trastuzumab clinical trials experience. J Clin Oncol (2002) 20:1215-1221).

FIGS. 16A-C show that incubation of cardiomyocytes with the anti-HER2 biparatopic antibodies and ADCs had equivalent effects compared to monospecific anti-HER2 FSA antibody (v506), anti-HER2 FSA combination (v506+v4184) and ADC (v6246) when treated either alone, or in combination with doxorubicin. Based on these results, it is expected that exemplary anti-HER2 biparatopic antibodies and ADCs would not have greater cardiotoxic effects compared to anti-monospecific anti-HER2 FSA, trastuzumab or ADC, T-DM1.

Example 15 Cytotoxicity of Exemplary Biparatopic Anti-HER2-ADCs in HER2+ Cells

The ability of exemplary biparatopic anti-HER2-ADC antibodies (v6363, v7148 and v10553) to mediate cellular cytotoxicity in HER2+ cells was measured. Human IgG conjugated to DM1 (v6249) was used as a control in some cases. The experiment was carried out in HER2+ breast tumor cell lines JIMT-1, MCF7, MDA-MB-231, the HER2+ ovarian tumor cell line SKOV3, and HER2+ gastric cell line NCI-N87. The cytotoxicity of exemplary biparatopic anti-HER2-ADC antibodies in HER2+ cells was evaluated and compared to the monospecific anti-HER2 FSA-ADC (v6246) and anti-HER2-FSA-ADC+anti-HER2-FSA controls (v6246+v4184). The method was conducted as described in Example 7 with the following modifications. The anti-HER2 ADCs were incubated with the target SKOV3 and JIMT-1 (FIGS. 17A and B) cells for 24 h, cells washed, media replaced and cell survival was evaluated after 5 day incubation at 37° C. The anti-HER2 ADCs were incubated with target MCF7 and MDA-MB-231 target cells for 6 h (FIGS. 17C and D), cells washed media replaced and cell survival was evaluated at 5 days incubation at 37° C. In FIG. 17E-G, anti-HER2 ADCs were incubated continuously with target SKOV3, JIMT-1, NCI-N87 cells for 5 days. Cell viability was measured as described in Example 7 using either AlamarBlue™ (FIGS. 17A-D) or Celltiter-Glo® (FIGS. 17E-G).

The results are shown in FIG. 17A-G and the data is summarized in Tables 15 and 16.

The results in FIG. 17A and Table 15 and 16 show that exemplary anti-HER2 biparatopic-ADC (v6363) is more cytotoxic in JIMT-1 compared to the anti-HER2-FSA-ADC (v6246) and the combination of anti-HER2-FSA-ADC+anti-HER2 FSA (v6246+v4184). The exemplary anti-HER2 biparatopic-ADC had a superior EC₅₀ that was approximately 13-fold lower compared to the anti-HER2 FSA-ADC control.

The results in FIG. 17B and Table 15 show that exemplary anti-HER2 biparatopic-ADC (v6363) is more cytotoxic in SKOV3 compared to the anti-HER2-FSA-ADC (v6246) and the combination of anti-HER2-FSA-ADC+anti-HER2 FSA (v6246+v4184). The exemplary anti-HER2 biparatopic-ADC had a superior EC₅₀ that was approximately 5-fold lower compared to the anti-HER2 FSA-ADC control.

The results in FIG. 17C and Table 15 show that exemplary anti-HER2 biparatopic-ADC (v6363) is more cytotoxic in MCF7 compared to the anti-HER2-FSA-ADC (v6246) and the combination of anti-HER2-FSA-ADC+anti-HER2 FSA (v6246+v4184). The exemplary anti-HER2 biparatopic-ADC had a superior EC₅₀ that was approximately 2-fold lower compared to the anti-HER2 FSA-ADC control.

The results in FIG. 17D and Table 15 show that exemplary anti-HER2 biparatopic-ADC (v6363) is more cytotoxic in MDA-MB-231 compared to the anti-HER2-FSA-ADC (v6246) and the combination of anti-HER2-FSA-ADC+anti-HER2 FSA (v6246+v4184). The exemplary anti-HER2 biparatopic-ADC had a superior EC₅₀ that was approximately 2-fold lower compared to the anti-HER2 FSA-ADC control.

The exemplary anti-HER2 biparatopic-ADCs had a superior EC₅₀ values that were approximately 2 to 7-fold lower compared to the anti-HER2 FSA-ADC control.

The results in FIG. 17F and Table 16 show that exemplary anti-HER2 biparatopic-ADCs (v6363, v7148 and v10553) are more cytotoxic in JIMT-1 breast tumor cells compared to the anti-HER2-FSA-ADC (v6246).

These results also show that exemplary anti-HER2 biparatopic-ADCs (v6363, v7148 and v10553) are cytotoxic in HER2 2/3+ gastric tumor cells. These results are consistent with the internalization results presented in Example 9.

Example 16 Effect of a Biparatopic Anti-HER2 Antibody in a Human Ovarian Cancer Cell Xenograft Model

The established human ovarian cancer cell derived xenograft model SKOV3 was used to assess the anti-tumor efficacy of an exemplary biparatopic anti-HER2 antibody.

Female athymic nude mice were inoculated with the tumor via the insertion of a 1 mm³ tumor fragment subcutaneously. Tumors were monitored until they reached an average volume of 220 mm³; animals were then randomized into 3 treatment groups: IgG control, anti-HER2 FSA (v506), and biparatopic anti-HER2 antibody (v5019).

Fifteen animals were included in each group. Dosing for each group is as follows:

A) IgG control was dosed intravenously with a loading dose of 30 mg/kg on study day 1 then with maintenance doses of 20 mg/kg twice per week to study day 39.

B) Anti-HER2 FSA (v506) was dosed intravenously with a loading dose of 15 mg/kg on study day 1 then with maintenance doses of 10 mg/kg twice per week to study day 18. On days 22 through 39, 5 mg/kg anti-HER2 FSA was dosed intravenously twice per week. Anti-HER2 FSA (v4184) was dosed simultaneously at 5 mg/kg intraperitoneally twice per week.

C) Biparatopic anti-HER2 antibody was dosed intravenously with a loading dose of 15 mg/kg on study day 1 then with maintenance doses of 10 mg/kg twice per week to study day 39.

Tumor volume was measured twice weekly over the course of the study, number of responders and median survival was assessed at day 22. The results are shown in FIG. 18 and Table 17.

The biparatopic anti-HER2 and anti-HER2 FSA demonstrated superior tumor growth inhibition compared to IgG control. The biparatopic anti-HER2 antibody induced superior tumor growth inhibition compared to anti-HER2 FSA combination (FIG. 18A). The biparatopic anti-HER2 antibody was associated with an increase in the number of responding tumors compared to anti-HER2 FSA v506 at day 22 (11 and 5, respectively)(Table 17). The exemplary biparatopic anti-HER2 antibody and anti-HER2 FSA demonstrated superior survival compared to IgG control. The biparatopic anti-HER2 antibody had a superior median survival (61 days) compared to anti-HER2 FSA (36 days)(FIG. 18B and Table 17). On study day 22 a second anti-HER2 FSA (v4184) was added in combination to the anti-HER2 FSA (v506). The combination of two anti-HER2 FSAs induced a further tumour growth inhibition compared to anti-HER2 FSA (v506) alone.

Example 17 Effect of a Biparatopic Anti-HER2 Antibody Drug Conjugate (ADC) in a Human Ovarian Cancer Cell Line Xenograft Model

The established human ovarian cancer cell derived xenograft model SKOV3 was used to assess the anti-tumor efficacy of an exemplary biparatopic anti-HER2 antibody conjugated to DM1 (v6363).

Female athymic nude mice were inoculated with the tumor via the insertion of a 1 mm³ tumor fragment subcutaneously. Tumors were monitored until they reached an average volume of 220 mm³; animals were then randomized into 3 treatment groups: IgG control, anti-HER2 FSA-ADC, and a biparatopic anti-HER2-ADC.

Fifteen animals were included in each group. Dosing for each group is as follows:

A) IgG control was dosed intravenously with a loading dose of 30 mg/kg on study day 1 then with maintenance doses of 20 mg/kg twice per week to study day 39.

B) Anti-HER2 FSA-ADC (v6246) was dosed intravenously with a loading dose of 10 mg/kg on study day 1 then with a maintenance dose of 5 mg/kg on day 15 and 29.

C) Biparatopic anti-HER2 antibody-ADC (v6363) was dosed intravenously with a loading dose of 10 mg/kg on study day 1 then with a maintenance dose of 5 mg/kg on day 15 and 29.

Tumor volume was measured throughout the study, and the number of responders and median survival was assessed at day 22. The results are shown in FIG. 19. A summary of the results is shown in Table 18.

The biparatopic anti-HER2-ADC and anti-HER2 FSA-ADC inhibited tumor growth better than IgG control (FIG. 19A and Table 18). The biparatopic anti-HER2-ADC inhibited tumor growth to a greater degree than did the anti-HER2 FSA-ADC. The biparatopic anti-HER2-ADC group was associated with an increase in the number of responding tumors compared to anti-HER2 FSA-ADC (11 and 9, respectively). The biparatopic anti-HER2-ADC and anti-HER2 FSA-ADC groups demonstrated superior survival compared to IgG control (FIG. 19B and Table 18). The biparatopic anti-HER2 antibody group demonstrated median survival of 61 days compared to the anti-HER2 FSA-ADC which had a median survival of 36 days (FIG. 19B and Table 18).

Example 18 Effect of a Biparatopic Anti-HER2 Antibody Drug Conjugate (ADC) in a Human Primary Cell Xenograft Model (HBCx-13b)

The trastuzumab resistant patient derived xenograft model from human breast cancer, HBCx-13B, was used to assess the anti-tumor efficacy of an exemplary biparatopic anti-HER2 antibody conjugated to DM1.

Female athymic nude mice were inoculated with the tumor via the insertion of a 20 mm³ tumor fragment subcutaneously. Tumors were monitored until they reached an average volume of 100 mm³; animals were then randomized into 3 treatment groups: anti-HER2 FSA (v506), anti-HER2 FSA-ADC (v6246), and the biparatopic anti-HER2-ADC (v6363). Seven animals were included in each group. Dosing for each group was as follows:

A) Anti-HER2 FSA was dosed intravenously with a loading dose of 15 mg/kg on study day 1 and maintenance doses of 10 mg/kg administered on study days 4, 8, 11, 15, 18, 22, and 25.

B) Anti-HER2 FSA-ADC was dosed intravenously with a loading dose of 10 mg/kg on study day 1 then with a maintenance dose of 5 mg/kg on day 22.

C) Biparatopic anti-HER2 antibody-ADC was dosed intravenously with a loading dose of 10 mg/kg on study day 1 then with a maintenance dose of 5 mg/kg on day 22.

Tumor volume was measured throughout the study, and mean tumor volume, complete response, and zero residual disease parameters were assessed at Day 50. The results are shown in FIG. 20. A summary of the results is shown in Table 19.

The biparatopic anti-HER2-ADC and anti-HER2 FSA-ADC demonstrated greater tumor growth inhibition compared to an anti-HER2 FSA (v506). The biparatopic anti-HER2-ADC inhibited tumor growth better than the anti-HER2 FSA-ADC. The biparatopic anti-HER2-ADC group as compared to the anti-HER2 FSA-ADC group was associated with an increase in the number of tumors showing complete responses (more than a 10% decrease below baseline), 7 and 4 respectively, and showing zero residual disease, 5 and 2 respectively.

Example 19 Effect of a Biparatopic Anti-HER2 Antibody Drug Conjugate (ADC) in a Human Primary Cell Xenograft Model (T226)

The patient derived trastuzumab resistant xenograft model from human breast cancer, T226, was used to assess the anti-tumor efficacy of an exemplary biparatopic anti-HER2-ADC.

Female athymic nude mice were inoculated with the tumor via the insertion of a 20 mm³ tumor fragment subcutaneously. Tumors were monitored until they reached an average volume of 100 mm³; animals were then randomized into 4 treatment groups: IgG control (n=15), anti-HER2 FSA (v506; n=15), anti-HER2 FSA-ADC (v6246; n=16), and the biparatopic anti-HER2-ADC conjugate (v6363; n=16). Dosing for each group was as follows:

A) IgG control was dosed intravenously with a loading dose of 15 mg/kg on study day 1 and maintenance doses of 10 mg/kg administered on study days 4, 8, 11, 15, 18, 22, and 25

B) Anti-HER2 FSA was dosed intravenously with a loading dose of 15 mg/kg on study day 1 and maintenance doses of 10 mg/kg administered on study days 4, 8, 11, 15, 18, 22, and 25

C) Anti-HER2 FSA-ADC was dosed intravenously with 5 mg/kg on study days 1 and 15

D) Biparatopic anti-HER2-ADC conjugate was dosed intravenously with 5 mg/kg on study days 1 and 15.

Tumor volume was measured throughout the course of the study, and mean tumor volume and complete response parameters were assessed at day 31. The results are shown in FIG. 21. A summary of the results is shown in Table 20.

The biparatopic anti-HER2-ADC and anti-HER2 FSA-ADC demonstrated better tumor growth inhibition compared to the anti-HER2 FSA (v506) and IgG control. The exemplary biparatopic anti-HER2-ADC induced equivalent tumor growth inhibition and complete baseline regression compared to anti-HER2 FSA-ADC (FIG. 21 and Table 20) in this model.

Example 20 Effect of a Biparatopic Anti-HER2 Antibody Drug Conjugate (ADC) in a Human Primary Cell Xenograft Model (HBCx-5)

The patient derived trastuzumab resistant xenograft model from human breast cancer, HBCx-5 (invasive ductal carcinoma, luminal B), was used to assess the anti-tumor efficacy of an exemplary biparatopic anti-HER2-ADC.

Female athymic nude mice were inoculated with the tumor via the insertion of a 20 mm³ tumor fragment subcutaneously. Tumors were monitored until they reached an average volume of 100 mm³; animals were then randomized into 4 treatment groups: IgG control (n=15), anti-HER2 FSA (v506; n=15), anti-HER2 FSA-ADC (v6246; n=16), and the biparatopic anti-HER2-ADC (v6363; n=16). Dosing for each group was as follows:

A) IgG control was dosed intravenously with a loading dose of 15 mg/kg on study day 1 and maintenance doses of 10 mg/kg administered on study days 4, 8, 11, 15, 18, 22, and 25

B) Anti-HER2 FSA was dosed intravenously with a loading dose of 15 mg/kg on study day 1 and maintenance doses of 10 mg/kg administered on study days 4, 8, 11, 15, 18, 22, and 25

C) Anti-HER2 FSA-ADC was dosed intravenously with 10 mg/kg on study days 1 and 15, 22, 29, 36

D) Biparatopic anti-HER2-ADC was dosed intravenously with 10 mg/kg on study days 1 and 15, 22, 29, 36.

Tumor volume was measured throughout the course of the study, and the mean tumor volume, T/C ratio, number of responders, complete response, and zero residual disease parameters were assessed at day 43. The results are shown in FIG. 22. A summary of the results is shown in Table 21.

The biparatopic anti-HER2-ADC and anti-HER2 FSA-ADC demonstrated better tumor growth inhibition compared to an anti-HER2 FSA (v506) and IgG control. The exemplary biparatopic anti-HER2-ADC induced equivalent tumor growth inhibition and had an increased number of responders compared to anti-HER2 FSA-ADC (FIG. 22 and Table 21) in the trastuzumab resistant HBCx-5 human breast cancer xenograft model.

Example 21 Effect of a Biparatopic Anti-HER2 Antibody Drug Conjugate (ADC) to Anti-HER2 Treatment Resistant Tumors in a Human Cell Line Xenograft Model (SKOV3)

The established human ovarian cancer cell derived xenograft model SKOV3, described in Example 17, was used to assess the anti-tumor efficacy of an exemplary biparatopic anti-HER2-ADC in anti-HER2 treatment resistant tumors.

The methods were followed as described in Example 17 with the following modifications. A cohort of animals was dosed with an anti-HER2 antibody intravenously with 15 mg/kg on study day 1 and with 10 mg/kg on day 4, 8, 15; however, this treatment failed to demonstrate an efficacious response by day 15 in this model. This treatment group was then converted to treatment with the exemplary biparatopic anti-HER2 antibody drug conjugate (v6363) and was dosed with 5 mg/kg and on study day 19 and 27 and 15 mg/kg on study day 34, 41 and 48.

Tumor volume was measured twice weekly throughout the course of the experiment.

The results are shown in FIG. 23 and indicate that the group treated with exemplary biparatopic anti-HER2-ADC (v6363) showed tumor regression to a mean tumor volume less than the initial mean starting volume of 220 mm³.

Example 22 Effect of a Biparatopic Anti-HER2 antibody Drug Conjugate (ADC) on Anti-HER2 Treatment Resistant Tumors in Human Primary Cell Xenograft Model (HBCx-13b)

The trastuzumab resistant patient derived xenograft model from human breast cancer, HBCx-13B, was used to assess the anti-tumor efficacy of an exemplary biparatopic anti-HER2 antibody conjugated to DM1.

The methods were followed as described in Example 18 with the following modifications. A cohort of animals was dosed with a bi-specific anti-ErbB family targeting antibody intravenously with 15 mg/kg on study day 1 and with 10 mg/kg on day 4, 8, 15, 18, 22, and 25; however, this treatment failed to demonstrate an efficacious response. This treatment group was then converted to treatment with the exemplary biparatopic anti-HER2 antibody drug conjugate (v6363) and was dosed with 10 mg/kg on days 31, 52 and with 5 mg/kg on day 45. Tumor volume was measured throughout the duration of the study.

The results are shown in FIG. 24. These results show that the exemplary biparatopic anti-HER2-ADC (v6363) prevented tumour progression. From the first dose to day 57 the tumour volume of the v6363 treated group increased by less than 2% while in the same interval the v506 treated group grew by more than 110%.

Example 23 Analysis of Fucose Content of an Exemplary Biparatopic Anti-HER2 Antibody

Glycopeptide analysis was performed to quantify the fucose content of the N-linked glycan of the exemplary biparatopic anti-HER2 antibodies (v5019, v7091 and v10000).

The glycopeptide analysis was performed as follows. Antibody samples were reduced with 10 mM DTT at 56° C. 1 h and alkylated with 55 mM iodoacetamide at RT 1 h and digested in-solution with trypsin in 50 mM ammonium bicarbonate overnight at 37° C. Tryptic digests were analyzed by nanoLC-MS/MS on a QTof-Ultima. The NCBI database was searched with Mascot to identify protein sequences. MaxEnt3 (MassLynx) was used to deconvolute the glycopeptide ions and to quantify the different glycoforms.

A summary of the glycopeptide analysis results is in Table 22. The N-linked glycans of exemplary biparatopic anti-HER2 antibodies (v5019, v7091 and v10000) are, approximately 90% fucosylated (10% N-linked glycans without fucose). The N-linked glycans of monospecific anti-HER2 FSA (v506) are, approximately 96% fucosylated (4% N-linked glycans without fucose) and Herceptin® is approximately 87% fucosylated (4% N-linked glycans without fucose).

TABLE 22 Fc N-linked Glycopeptide Analysis Average % Average % of Glycopeptides of Glycopeptides Antibody Observed With Observed Without Variant Fucose Fucose n v506 96.4 3.6 5 Herceptin ® 86.5 13.4 4 v5019 90.5 9.4 6 v7091 89.9 26.9 3 v10000 89.2 10.7 5

These results show that biparatopic anti-HER2 antibodies (with a heterodimeric Fc), expressed transiently in CHO cells, have approximately 3% higher fucose content in the N-glycan compared to commercial Herceptin®. The homodimeric anti-HER2 FSA (v506), expressed transiently in CHO cells, has the highest fucose content of approximately 96%.

Example 24 Thermal Stability of an Exemplary Biparatopic Anti-HER2 Antibody

Thermal stability of exemplary biparatopic anti-HER2 antibodies (v5019, v7091 and v10000) and ADCs (v6363, v7148 and v10533) was measured by DSC as described below.

DSC was performed in the MicroCal™ VP-Capillary DSC (GE Healthcare) using a purified protein sample (anti-HER2 biparatopic antibodies and anti-HER2 biparatopic-ADCs) adjusted to about 0.3 mg/ml in PBS. The sample was scanned from 20 to 100° C. at a 60° C./hr rate, with low feedback, 8 sec filter, 5 min preTstat, and 70 psi nitrogen pressure. The resulting thermogram was analyzed using Origin 7 software.

The thermal stability results of exemplary biparatopic anti-HER2 antibodies (v5019, v7091 and v10000) are shown in FIG. 25A-C. FIG. 25A shows the thermogram for v5019; the Fc and chain A Fab of each have a T_(m) of 75° Celsius and the chain B scFv of 5019 has a T_(m) of 69° Celsius. FIG. 25B shows the thermogram for v10000; the Fc CH3 domain has a T_(m) 82° Celsius, Fab chain A has T_(m) of 76.5° Celsius and the chain B scFv has a T_(m) of 69.5° Celsius. FIG. 25C shows the thermogram for v7091; the Fc CH3 domain has a T_(m) 82° Celsius, Fab chain A has T_(m) of 76.7° Celsius and the chain B scFv has a T_(m) of 69.5° Celsius.

The thermal stability results of exemplary biparatopic anti-HER2 ADCs (v6363, v7148 and v10533) are shown in FIG. 26A-C. FIG. 26A shows the thermogram for v6363; the Fc has a T_(m) of 75° Celsius and the chain A Fab and Fc CH3 domain have a T_(m) of 75° Celsius. The chain B scFv of 6363 has a T_(m) of 69° Celsius. FIG. 26B shows the thermogram for v10553; the Fc CH3 domain has a T_(m) of 83° Celsius, the chain A Fab has a T_(m) of 75.7° Celsius and the chain B scFv has a T_(m) of 66.2° Celsius. FIG. 26C shows the thermogram for v7148; the Fc CH3 domain has a T_(m) of 82.6° Celsius, the chain A Fab has a T_(m) of 74.8° Celsius and the chain B scFv has a T_(m) of 66.6° Celsius.

The exemplary biparatopic antibodies and ADCs have thermal stability comparable to wildtype IgG.

Example 25 Ability of an Exemplary Biparatopic Anti-HER2 Antibody to Elicit ADCC of Breast Tumor Cells Expressing Varying Levels of HER2

The ability of exemplary biparatopic antibody (v5019) to elicit dose-dependent ADCC of HER2 positive 3+, 2+, and 0/1+HER2 expressing (triple-negative) breast cancer cell lines was examined. The ADCC experiments were performed as described in Example 11 with the exception that NK effector cell to target cell ratio remained constant at 5:1.

The ADCC results are shown in FIG. 27 and Table 23. The results in FIG. 27A-C show that exemplary biparatopic antibody (v5019) elicits approximately 1.2 to 1.3-fold greater maximum cell lysis of HER2 positive 3+, 2+ and 0/1+HER2 expressing breast cancer cells compared to Herceptin®. The results also show that v5019 (90% N-glycans with fucose) more effectively mediates ADCC of HER2 positive 3+, 2+ and 0/1+HER2 expressing breast cancer despite having approximately a 4% higher fucose content in the N-glycan (resulting in lower binding affinity to CD16 on NK cells) compared to Herceptin® (86% N-glycans with fucose; Example 23). The higher target cell killing elicited by v5019 is presumably due to increased tumor cell decoration as described in Example 6.

TABLE 23 ADCC of HER2 3+, 2+ and 0/1+ HER2 expressing breast cancer cells SKBr3 JIMT-1 MDA-MB-231 HER2 3+ HER2 2+ HER2 0/1+ Max % Max % Max % Target Cell EC₅₀ Target EC₅₀ Target EC₅₀ Treatment Lysis (nM) Cell Lysis (nM) Cell Lysis (nM) v5019 30 ~0.9 60 0.001 53 0.9 Herceptin ® 23 ~0.9 51 0.002 44 0.9

The ADCC results in FIG. 27D show that exemplary biparatopic antibodies (v7091 and v10000) elicit similar maximal cell lysis compared to Herceptin® in the basal HER2 expressing WI-38 cell line. The ADCC results support the cell binding data (Example 6), showing that a threshold for increased binding and ADCC occurs when the HER2 receptor levels are greater than 10,000 HER2/cell. Based on this data it would be expected that the exemplary biparatopic anti-HER2 antibodies would have increased cell surface binding and ADCC of HER2 3+, 2+ and 1+ tumor cells but would not have increase cell surface binding and ADCC of non-tumor cells that express basal levels of the HER2 receptor at approximately 10,000 receptors or less.

Example 26 Effect of Antibody Afucosylation on ADCC

The ability of afucosylated exemplary biparatopic antibodies (v5019-afuco, 10000-afuco) to elicit dose-dependent ADCC of HER2 positive 2/3+, 2+ and 0/1+HER2 expressing (triple-negative) breast cancer cell lines, was examined. ADCC experiments were performed as described in Example 11, in SKOV3 cells, MDA-MB-231 cells and ZR75-1 cells with the exception that a constant NK effector cell or PBMC effector to target (E:T) cell ratio of 5:1 was used. Afucosylated exemplary biparatopic antibodies were produced transiently in CHO cells as described in Example 1, using the transiently expressed RMD enzyme as described in von Horsten et al. 2010 Glycobiology 20:1607-1618. The fucose content of v5019-afuco and v10000-afuco were measured as described in Example 23 and determined to be less <2% fucosylated (data not shown). Data using NK effector cells is shown in FIG. 28A-B, while data using PBMCs is shown in FIG. 28C.

FIG. 28A, FIG. 28B and Table 24 show that afucosylated v5019 (v5019-afuco) elicits ADCC of HER 2/3+ and 0/1+HER2 expressing breast cancer cells with approximately 1.5 to 1.7-fold higher maximum cell lysis than Herceptin®.

TABLE 24 ADCC of HER2 2/3+ and basal HER2 expressing (triple- negative) breast cancer cells SKOV3 HER2 MDA-MD-231 2+/3+ HER2 0/1+ Max % Max % Target Target Treatment Cell Lysis EC₅₀ (nM) Cell Lysis EC₅₀ (nM) v5019-afucosylated 24 ~0.6 58 ~0.6 Herceptin ® 14 ~0.6 40 ~0.3

The results in FIG. 28C and Table 25 show that v10000 elicits ADCC of HER2 2+ZR-75-1 breast cancer cells with approximately 1.3-fold greater maximal cell lysis than Herceptin®, and v10000-afuco elicits approximately 1.5-fold greater maximal cell lysis than Herceptin®.

TABLE 25 ADCC of HER2 2/3+ breast cancer cells ZR-751 HER2 2+ Max % Target Treatment Cell Lysis EC₅₀ (nM) v10000 28 ~0.06 v10000-afucosylated 32 ~0.7 Herceptin ® 21 ~0.5

The ADCC results show that the exemplary afucosylated biparatopic antibodies (v5019-afuco, v10000-afuco) elicit approximately 15-25% greater maximum cell lysis compared to the fucosylated antibodies (v5019 Example 25, v10000) when Herceptin® is used as a benchmark. These results show that reducing the fucose content of the Fc N-glycan results in increased maximal cell lysis by ADCC.

Example 27 Ability of Exemplary Biparatopic Anti-HER2 Antibody to Inhibit Growth of HER2 3+ Breast Cancer Cells in the Presence of Exogenous Growth-Stimulatory Ligands (EGF and HRG)

The ability of 5019 to inhibit growth of HER2 3+ breast cancer cells in the presence of exogenous growth-stimulatory ligands (EGF and HRG) was examined.

Test antibodies and exogenous ligand (10 ng/mL HRG or 50 ng/mL EGF) were added to the target BT-474 HER2 3+ cells in triplicate and incubated for 5 days at 37° C. Cell viability was measured using AlamarBlue™ (37° C. for 2 hr), absorbance read at 530/580 nm. Data was normalised to untreated control and analysis was performed using GraphPad Prism.

The results are shown in FIG. 29 and Table 26. The results show that exemplary biparatopic antibody v5019 inhibits the growth of HER2 3+ breast cancer cells in the absence of growth stimulatory ligand (70% inhibition), as well as in the presence of EGF (40% inhibition) or HRG (˜10% inhibition). The anti-HER2 monospecific FSA (v506) does not block EGF or HRG induced tumor cell growth via other erbB receptors EGFR and HER3. v5019 is superior to v506 in inhibiting HER2 and ligand-dependent dimerization and growth via other companion erbB receptors.

TABLE 26 Growth Inhibition of HER2 3+ Cancer Cells % Survival Treatment Antibody only + EGF + HRG Mock 100 122 110 v506 41 114 129 v5019 31 56 92

These results show that exemplary biparatopic antibody is capable of reducing ligand-dependent growth of HER2+ cells, presumably due binding of the anti-ECD2 chain A Fab arm and subsequent blocking of ligand stimulated receptor homo- and heterodimerization, and erbB signaling.

Example 28 Effect of a Biparatopic Anti HER2 Antibody in a Trastuzumab-Resistant and Chemotherapy Resistant HER2 3+ Patient-Derived (PDX) Metastatic Breast Cancer Xenograft Model of Invasive Ductal Breast Carcinoma

The HER2 3+ (ER-PR negative) patient derived xenograft model from invasive ductal human breast cancer, HBCx-13B, was used to assess the anti-tumor efficacy of an exemplary biparatopic anti-HER2 antibody, v7187. v7187 is an afucosylated version of v5019. The model is resistant to single agent trastuzumab, the combination of trastuzumab and pertuzumab (see example 31), capecitabine, docetaxel, and adriamycin/cyclophosphamide.

Female athymic nude mice were inoculated subcutaneously with a 20 mm³ tumor fragment. Tumors were then monitored until reaching an average volume of 140 mm3. Animals were then randomized into 2 treatment groups: vehicle control and v7187 with eight animals in each group. IV Dosing was as follows. Vehicle control was dosed intravenously with 5 ml/kg of formulation buffer twice per week to study day 43. v7187 was dosed intravenously with 10 mg/kg twice per week to study day 43. Tumor volume was measured throughout the study, and other parameters assessed at day 43 as shown in Table 27.

The results are shown in FIG. 30 and Table 27. The results show that tumors treated with vehicle control showed continual progression and exceeded 1600 mm³ by study day 43. Mice treated with v7187 showed significantly greater tumor growth inhibition (T/C—0.44) with a mean tumor volume of 740 mm³ on day 43. v7187 induced responses in 5/8 tumors with a single tumor showing complete regression with zero residual disease on study day 43. Animals treated with v7187 had a superior response rate with 5/8 tumors responding to therapy compared to 0/8 mice treated with vehicle control. In addition, treatment with v7187 significantly delayed tumor progression compared to vehicle control with doubling times of 19 and 11 days respectively.

TABLE 27 Tumour Response Vehicle V7087 Day 43 Mean TV (mm3) (% Change from 1683 740 Baseline) (+1079%) (+422%) T/C ratio 1 0.44 Responders (TV<50% of control) 0/8 5/8 PR (>10% baseline regression) 0/8 1/8 ZRD (TV<20 mm3) 0/8 1/8 Time to Doubling time (days) 11 19 progression

These data show that the exemplary anti-HER2 biparatopic (v7187) is efficacious in a Trastuzumab+Pertuzumab resistant HER2 3+ metastatic breast cancer tumor xenograft model. V7187 treatment has a high response rate and can significantly impair tumor progression of standard of care treatment resistant HER2 3+ breast cancers.

Example 29 Assessment of Biparatopic Anti-HER2 ADC Binding to HER2+ Tumor Cell Lines

The ability of exemplary biparatopic anti-HER2 ADCs to bind and saturate HER2 positive 3+, 2+, breast and ovarian tumor cell lines was analyzed by FACS as described in Example 6.

The data is shown in FIG. 31. FIG. 31A shows v6363 binding to SKOV3 tumor cell lines with approximately a 2.0-fold greater Bmax (MFI) than T-DM1 (v6246) at saturating concentrations. FIG. 31B shows v6363 binds to JIMT-1 tumor cell lines with approximately a 1.6-fold greater Bmax (MFI) than T-DM1 (v6246) at saturating concentrations. These data show that v6363 (ADC) has similar tumor cell binding properties of increased cell surface binding compared to the parent unconjugated v5019 antibody (Example 6). Conjugation of v5019 with SMCC-DM1 (v6363) does not alter the antigen-binding properties of the antibody.

The FACS binding assay was repeated to include direct comparison to the exemplary biparatopic antibodies (v5019, v7091 and v10000) and ADCs (v6363, v7148 and v10553). The data is shown in FIG. 31C and FIG. 31D. The exemplary biparatopic anti-HER2 ADCs (v6363, v7148 and v10553) have equivalent cell surface saturation (Bmax) compared to the unlabeled biparatopic antibodies (v5019, v7091 and v10000).

These data show that conjugation of exemplary biparatopic antibodies (v5019, v7091 and v10000) with SMCC-DM1 does not alter the binding properties. The exemplary anti-HER2 biparatopic anti-HER2 ADCs (v6363, v7148 and v10553) have approximately 1.5-fold (or greater) increased cell surface binding compared to a monospecific anti-HER2 ADC (v6246, T-DM1).

Example 30 Dose-Dependent Tumour Growth Inhibition of an Exemplary Anti-HER2 Biparatopic-ADC in a HER2 3+ (ER-PR Negative) Patient Derived Xenograft Model

The HER2 3+ (ER-PR negative) patient derived xenograft model from invasive ductal human breast cancer, HBCx-13B, was used to assess the anti-tumor efficacy of an exemplary biparatopic anti-HER2 ADC, v6363. The model is resistant to single agent trastuzumab, the combination of trastuzumab and pertuzumab (see example 31), capecitabine, docetaxel, and adriamycin/cyclophosphamide.

Female athymic nude mice were inoculated with the tumor via the subcutaneous insertion of a 20 mm³ tumor fragment. Tumors were monitored until they reached an average volume of 160 mm³; animals were then randomized into 5 treatment groups: non-specific human IgG control, and 4 escalating doses of v6363. 8-10 animals were included in each group. Dosing for each group was as follows. IgG control was dosed intravenously with 10 mg/kg twice per week to study day 29. v6363 was dosed intravenously with 0.3, 1, 3, or 10 mg/kg on study days 1, 15, and 29. Tumor volume was assessed throughout the study and parameters assessed as indicated in Table 29.

The results are shown in FIG. 32 and Table 28. These results show that the exemplary anti-HER2 biparatopic ADC (v6363) mediated dose-dependent tumor growth inhibition in the Trastuzumab-resistant HBCx-13b PDX model (FIG. 32A). In addition, v6363 improved overall survival in a dose-dependent manner, with median survival time of more than 63 days for 3 mg/kg and 10 mg/kg doses compared to 43 days for IgG control (FIG. 32B and Table 28). The 3 mg/kg dose was associated with an increased response rate (5/10) compared to control (0/8). All mice treated with v6363 at 10 mg/kg dose not only responded to therapy (9/9) but also showed prevention of tumor progression. Moreover, the majority of tumors had objective partial responses (7/9) and, at the end of the study, many had zero residual disease (6/9). v6363 was well tolerated at all doses, no adverse events were observed and no body weight loss was observed.

These data show that the exemplary anti-HER2 biparatopic ADC (v6363) is efficacious in a Trastuzumab+Pertuzumab resistant HER2 3+ metastatic breast cancer tumor xenograft model. v6363 treatment is associated with a high response rate, significantly impairs tumor progression, and prolongs survival in a standard of care resistant HER2 3+ breast cancers.

Example 31 Biparatopic Anti-HER2-ADC Compared to Standard of Care Combinations in the Trastuzumab Resistant PDX HBCx-13b

The efficacy of v6363 in a HER2 3+, ER-PR negative Trastuzumab resistant patient-derived breast cancer xenograft model (HBCx-13b), was evaluated and compared to to the combination of: Herceptin™+Perjeta™; and Herceptin™+Docetaxel.

Female athymic nude mice were inoculated with the tumor via the subcutaneous insertion of a 20 mm3 tumor fragment. Tumors were monitored until they reached an average volume of 100 mm3; animals were then randomized into 4 treatment groups (8-10 animals/group): non-specific human IgG control, Herceptin™+Docetaxel, Herceptin™+Perjeta™, and v6363. Dosing for each group was as follow. IgG control was dosed intravenously with 10 mg/kg twice per week to study day 29. Herceptin™+Docetaxel combination Herceptin™ was dosed intravenously with 10 mg/kg IV twice weekly to study day 29 and Docetaxel was dosed intraperitoneally with 20 mg/kg on study day 1 and 22. Herceptin™+Perjeta™ combination Herceptin was dosed intravenously with 5 mg/kg twice per week to study day 29 and Perjeta™ was dosed intravenously with 5 mg/kg twice per week to study day 29. The dosing of Herceptin™ and Perjeta™ was concurrent. v6363 was dosed intravenously with 10 mg/kg on study day 1, 15, and 29.

The results are shown in FIG. 33 and Table 29. FIG. 33A shows tumor volume over time, and FIG. 33B shows a survival plot. These results show that the combination of Herceptin™+Perjeta™ did not produce any tumor growth inhibition compared to control IgG and exceeded 1800 mm³ on day 39. The combination of Herceptin™+Docetaxel did not significantly reduce tumor growth but did prolong median survival to 53 days compared to 43 days for IgG control. v6363 produced significant tumor growth inhibition (T/C—0.04), where, all tumors responded to therapy and 7/10 tumors experienced complete regressions (zero residual disease). v6363 significantly prolonged survival compared to both combination therapies. Body weights across cohorts were not significantly affected by treatments.

These results show that exemplary anti-HER2 biparatopic ADC (v6363) is superior to standard of care combinations with respect to all parameters tested in this xenograft model.

Example 32 Efficacy of a Biparatopic Anti-HER2-ADC in HER2+ Trastuzumab-Resistant Breast Cancer Cell Derived Tumour Xenograft Model

The efficacy of v6363 in a HER2 3+ Trastuzumab resistant breast cancer cell-derived (JIMT-1, HER2 2+) xenograft model was evaluated (Tanner et al. 2004. Molecular Cancer Therapeutics 3: 1585-1592).

Female RAG2 mice were inoculated with the tumor subcutaneously. Tumors were monitored until they reached an average volume of 115 mm³; animals were then randomized into 2 treatment groups: Trastuzumab (n=10) and v6363. Dosing for each group was as follows. Trastuzumab was dosed intravenously with 15 mg/kg on study day 1 and 10 mg/kg twice per week to study day 26. v6363 was dosed intravenously with 5 mg/kg on study days 1 and 15 and with 10 mg/kg on day 23 and 30 and 9 mg/kg on day 37 and 44.

The results are shown in FIG. 34 and Table 30. These results show that v6363 significantly inhibited tumor growth (T/C—0.74) compared to Trastuzumab on study day 36. v6363 and Trastuzumab treatment did not significantly change body weight. v6363 serum exposure was 17.9 μg/ml 7 days after the first 10 mg/kg dose.

These results show that exemplary anti-HER2 biparatopic ADC (v6363) is efficacious in a Trastuzumab-resistant breast cancer and has a potential utility in treating breast cancers that are resistant to current standards of care.

Example 33 FcγR Binding to Heterodimeric Fc of Anti-HER2 Biparatopic Antibodies and Anti-HER2 Biparatopic-ADCs

The binding of anti-HER2 biparatopic antibody (v5019, v7019 v10000) and ADC (v6363, v7148 and v10553) having a heterodimeric Fc, to human FcγRs was assessed and compared to anti-HER2 FSA (v506) and ADC (v6246) having a homodimeric Fc.

Affinity of FcγR to antibody Fc region was measured by SPR using a ProteOn XPR36 (BIO-RAD). HER2 was immobilized (3000 RU) on CM5 chip by standard amine coupling. Antibodies were antigen captured on the HER2 surface. Purified FcγR was injected various concentration (20-30 μl/min) for 2 minutes, followed by 4 minute dissociation. Sensograms were fit globally to a 1:1 Langmuir binding model. Experiments were conducted at 25° C.

The results are shown in Table 31. The exemplary heterodimeric anti-HER2 biparatopic antibodies and ADCs bound to CD16aF, CD16aV158, CD32aH, CD32aR131, CD32bY163 and CD64A with comparable affinities. Conjugation of the antibodies with SMCC-DM1 does not negatively affect FcγR binding. The heterodimeric anti-HER2 biparatopic antibodies have approximately 1.3 to 2-fold higher affinity to CD16aF, CD32aR131, CD32aH compared to homodimeric anti-HER2 FSA (v506) and ADC (v6246). These results show that the heterodimeric anti-HER2 biparatopic antibodies and ADCs bind different polymorphic forms of FcγRs on immune effector cells with similar or greater affinity than a WT homodimeric IgG1.

Example 34 Efficacy of Exemplary Anti-HER2 Biparatopic Antibodies In Vivo in a Trastuzumab Sensitive Ovarian Cancer Cell Derived Tumour Xenograft Model

The established human ovarian cancer cell derived xenograft model SKOV3, described in Example 17, was used to assess the anti-tumor efficacy of the exemplary biparatopic anti-HER2 antibodies, v5019, v7091 and v10000.

Female athymic nude mice were inoculated with a tumor suspension of 325,000 cells in HBSS subcutaneously on the left flank. Tumors were monitored until they reached an average volume of 190 mm³ and enrolled in a randomized and staggered fashion into 4 treatment groups: non-specific human IgG control, v5019, v7091, and v10000. Dosing for each group was as follows. Non-specific human IgG was dosed intravenously with 10 mg/kg starting on study day 1 twice per week to study day 26. V5019, v7091, and v10000 were dosed intravenously with 3 mg/kg starting on study day 1 twice per week to study day 26. Tumor volume was measured throughout the study, and the parameters listed in Table 32 were measured at day 29.

The data are presented in FIG. 35A (tumor growth), FIG. 35B (survival plot) and Table 32 and show that treatment with v5019, v7091 and v10000 resulted in comparable tumor growth inhibition (T/C: 0.53-0.71), number of responding tumors, time to progression, and survival on study day 29 compared to IgG control. The serum exposure of v5019, v7091, and v10000 was similar (31-41 microg/ml) on study day 7.

These results show that the exemplary anti-HER2 biparatopic antibodies, v5019, v7091, and v10000) have potential utility in treating moderately Trastuzumab sensitive HER2 overexpressing ovarian cancers.

Example 35 Exemplary Biparatopic Anti-her2 Antibodies Dose-Dependently Inhibit Tumour Growth in the Trastuzumab-Sensitive Ovarian Cancer Cell Derived Tumour Xenograft

The established human ovarian cancer cell derived xenograft model SKOV3, described in Example 17, was used to assess the dose-dependent efficacy of an exemplary biparatopic anti-HER2 antibody, v10000.

Female athymic nude mice were inoculated with a tumor suspension of 325,000 cells in HBSS subcutaneously on the left flank. Tumors were monitored until they reached an average volume of 190 mm³ and enrolled in a randomized and staggered fashion into 6 treatment groups: non-specific human IgG control and 5 escalating doses of v10000. 9-13 animals were included in each group. Dosing for each group was as follows. IgG control was dosed intravenously with 10 mg/kg twice per week to study day 26. V10000 was dosed intravenously with 0.1, 0.3, 1, 3, or 10 mg/kg twice per week.

The data are presented in FIG. 36 and Table 33 and show that treatment with v10000 dose dependently induces tumor growth inhibition (T/C: 0.28-0.73) compared to control IgG. In addition, v10000 was dose-dependently associated with responding tumors (7/9 at 10 mg/kg and 3/11 at 0.1 mg/kg) increased time to progression (24 days at 10 mg/kg and 12 days at 0.1 mg/kg) on study day 29. The serum exposure of v10000 on day 7 was dose dependent and increased from 0.46 microg/ml with a 0.1 mg/kg dose to 79.3 microg/ml with a 10 mg/kg dose.

These results show that the exemplary anti-HER2 biparatopic antibody, v10000, inhibits tumor progression in a dose-dependent manner.

Example 36 Ability of Anti-HER2 Biparatopic Antibody and Anti-HER2 Biparatopic-ADC to Inhibit Growth of Cell Lines Expressing HER2, and EGFR and/or HER3 at the 3+, 2+or 1+ Levels

The following experiment was performed to measure the ability of an exemplary biparatopic anti-HER2 antibody (v10000) and corresponding biparatopic anti-HER2 ADC (v10553) to inhibit growth of a selection of breast, colorectal, gastric, lung, skin, ovarian, renal, pancreatic, head and neck, uterine and bladder tumor cell lines that express HER2, and EGFR and/or HER3 at the 3+, 2+, 1+ or 0+ level as defined by IHC.

The experiment was conducted as follows. The optimal seeding density for each cell line was uniquely determined to identify a seeding density that yielded approximately 60-90% confluency after the 72 hr duration of the assay. Each cell line was seeded at the optimal seeding density, in the appropriate growth medium per cell line, in a 96-well plate and incubated for 24° C. at 36° C. and 5% CO₂. Antibodies were added at three concentrations (v10000 at 300, 30 and 0.3 nM; v10553 at 300, 1, 0.1 nM), along with the positive and vehicle controls. The positive control chemococktail drug combination of 5-FU (5-fluorouracil), paclitaxel, cisplatin, etoposide (25 microM), the vehicle control consisted of PBS. The antibody treatments and controls were incubated with the cells for 72 h in a cell culture incubator at 36° C. and 5% CO₂. The plates were centrifuged at 1200 RPM for 10 min and culture medium completely removed by aspiration. RPMI SFM medium (200 microL) and MTS (20 microL) was added to each well and incubated at 36° C. and 5% CO₂ for 3 h. Optical density was read at 490 nM and percent growth inhibition was determined relative to the vehicle control.

The results are shown in FIG. 37 and a summary of all test results are shown in FIG. 38. FIG. 37A shows the growth inhibition results of v10000. These results show that v10000 can inhibit growth of breast, colorectal, gastric, lung, skin, ovarian, renal, pancreatic, head and neck, uterine, and endometrial tumor cell lines that express HER2 and coexpress EGFR and/or HER3 at the 3+, 2+, 1+ or 0+ level. The activity of v10000 and v10553 at 300 nM is summarized in FIG. 38, where ‘+’ indicates cell lines that showed a reduction in cell viability at 300 nM that was >5% of the vehicle control, and ‘-’ indicates <5% viability of the vehicle control.

FIG. 37B shows the growth inhibition results of v10553. These results show that v10553 can inhibit growth of breast, colorectal, gastric, lung, skin, ovarian, renal, pancreatic, head and neck, uterine and bladder tumor cell lines that express HER2 and coexpress EGFR and/or HER3 at the 3+, 2+, 1+ or 0+ level (see also FIG. 38). The results plotted in FIG. 37B are defined by cell lines that showed a minimum of dose-dependent growth inhibition at 300 and 1 nM, and where the growth inhibition at 1 nM is equal or greater than 5% (FIG. 37B).

These results show that exemplary biparatopic antibody v10000 and ADC v10553 can inhibit growth of tumor cells originating from breast, colorectal, gastric, lung, skin, ovarian, renal, pancreatic, head and neck, uterine and bladder histologies that express HER2 at the 3+, 2/3+, 2+, 1+and 0/1+ levels and that coexpress EGFR and/or HER3 at the 2+, 1+ levels.

Example 37 Ability of Anti-HER2 Biparatopic Antibodies to Mediate ADCC of HER2 2+, 1+ and 0/1+ Cancer Cells

The following experiment was conducted to determine the ability of anti-HER2 biparatopic antibodies to mediate ADCC of tumor cells that express HER2 at the 2+, 1+ and/or 0/1+ levels and that coexpress EGFR and/or HER3 at the 2+ or 1+ level. The anti-HER2 biparatopic antibodies tested were 5019, 10000, and 10154 (an afucosylated version of v10000), with Herceptin™ and v506 as controls.

The ADCC experiment was conducted as described in Example 11 and Example 25 with E/T: 5:1 with NK-92 effector cells (FIG. 39), and as described in Example 26 with E/T 30:1 with PBMC effector cells.

The results are shown in FIG. 39 (NK-92 effector cells) and FIG. 40 (PBMC effector cells). FIG. 39A shows the ADCC results of the HER2 2+ head and neck tumor cell line (hypopharyngeal carcinoma), FaDu, where the anti-HER2 biparatopic elicits approximately 15% maximal cell lysis. FIG. 39C shows the ADCC results of the HER2 1+BxPC3 pancreatic tumor cell line, and FIG. 39D the results of the HER2 2+MiaPaca2 pancreatic tumor cell line. FIG. 39B shows the ADCC results of the HER2 0/1+A549 NSCLC (non-small cell lung cancer) tumor cell line. In the BxPC3, MiaPaca2 and A549 tumor cell lines, v10000 mediated approximately 5% maximal tumor cell lysis.

FIG. 40 shows the ADCC results in A549, NCI-N87, and HCT-116 cells, where PBMCs were used as the effector cells. FIG. 40A shows the ADCC results of the HER2 0/1+A549 NSCLC tumor cell line, where v10000 elicited ˜28% maximum cell lysis and this was comparable to Herceptin™ that has equivalent level of fucose content in the N-linked glycan. The exemplary 100% afucosylated (0% fucose) biparatopic v10154 shows an increase in maximal cell lysis (40% maximum cell lysis) and increased potency compared to v10000 and Herceptin that have approximately 88% fucose in the N-linked glycan.

FIG. 40B shows the ADCC results of the HER2 3+ gastric tumor cell line, NCI-N87. FIG. 40B shows that exemplary biparatopic v5019 (approximately 88% fucosylated) mediates approximately 23% maximal cell lysis and has a lower EC50 compared to Trastuzumab v506 (approximately 98% fucosylated).

FIG. 40C shows the ADCC results of the HER2 1+HCT-116 colorectal tumor cell line. FIG. 40C shows that exemplary biparatopic v5019 (approximately 88% fucosylated) mediates approximately 25% maximal cell lysis and is more potent compared to Trastuzumab v506 (approximately 98% fucosylated).

These results show that exemplary anti-HER2 biparatopic antibodies can elicit ADCC of HER2 01/+, 2+ and 3+ tumor cells that originate from head and neck, gastric, NSCLC, and pancreatic tumor histologies. ADCC in the presence of NK-92 cells as the effector cells had an apparent HER2 2+ receptor level requirement (i.e. 2+ or greater) to show higher (>5%) percentage of maximum cell lysis. However, when PBMC cells were used as effector cells higher levels of maximum cell lysis were achieved (>5% and up to 28% or 40%; v10000 and v10154, respectively) and were independent of HER2 receptor density as ADCC >5% was seen at the 0/1+, 1+ and 3+HER2 receptor density levels.

Example 38 HER2 Binding Affinity and Kinetics as Measured by SPR

As indicated in Example 1, anti-HER2 biparatopic antibodies having different antigen-binding moiety formats were constructed, as described in Table 1. The formats included scFv-scFv format (v6717), Fab-Fab format (v6902 and v6903), along with Fab-scFv format (v5019, v7091, and v10000). The following experiment was conducted to compare HER2 binding affinity and kinetics of these exemplary anti-HER2 biparatopic antibody formats.

Affinity and binding kinetics to murine HER2 ECD (Sino Biological 50714-M08H) was measured by single cycle kinetics with the T200 SPR system from Biacore (GE Healthcare). Between 2000-4000 RU of anti-human Fc was immobilized on a CM5 chip using standard amine coupling. 5019 was captured on the anti-human Fc surface at 50 RU. Recombinant HER2 ECD (1.8-120 nM) was injected at 50 μl/min for 3 minutes, followed by a 30 minute dissociation after the last injection. HER2 dilutions were analyzed in duplicate. Sensorgrams were fit globally to a 1:1 Langmuir binding model. All experiments were conducted at room temperature, 25° C.

The results in Table 34 show that Fab-scFv biparatopic antibodies (v5019 and v7091), Fab-Fab variants (v6902 and v6903) and the scFv-scFv variant (v6717) have comparable binding affinity (1-4 nM). The Fab-scFv variant v10000 had higher binding affinity (lower KD) of approximately 0.6 nM. The monspecific anti-HER2 ECD4 antibody (v506) and anti-HER2 ECD2 antibody (v4184) were included in the assay as controls. These results indicate that the molecular formats including v6717, v6902, v6903, v5019 and/or v7091 have equivalent binding affinities, and thus differences in function between these antibodies may be considered to result from differences in format.

Example 39 Effect of Anti-HER2 Biparatopic Antibody Format on Binding to HER2+ Tumor Cells

The following experiment was conducted to compare the whole cell binding properties (Bmax and apparent K_(D)) of exemplary anti-HER2 ECD2x ECD4 biparatopic antibodies that have different molecular formats (e.g. v6717, scFv-scFv IgG1; v6903 and v6902 Fab-Fab IgG1; v5019, v7091 and v10000 Fab-scFv IgG1).

The experiment was conducted as described in Example 6. The results are shown in FIG. 41 and Tables 35-38. FIG. 41A and Table 35 shows the FACS binding results of the exemplary biparatopic antibodies to the BT474 HER2 3+ breast tumor cell line. The results show that all anti-HER2 antibodies have a higher Bmax (1.5 to 1.7-fold greater) when compared to the monospecific bivalent anti-HER2 antibody v506. The Fab-scFv (v5019, v7091 and v10000) and the Fab-Fab (v6903) formats had approximately a 1.7-fold increased Bmax and the scFv-scFv format (v6717) had a 1.5-fold increased Bmax compared to v506. An equimolar combination of FSAs v506 and v4184 resulted in a 1.7-fold increase in Bmax. The apparent K_(D) of the exemplary anti-HER2 biparatopic antibodies was approximately 2 to 3-fold higher compared to the monospecific v506.

FIG. 41B and Table 36 shows the FACS binding results to the JIMT-1 HER2 2+ breast tumor cell line. The results show that all anti-HER2 antibodies have a higher Bmax (1.5 to 1.8-fold greater) when compared to the monospecific bivalent anti-HER2 antibody v506. The Fab-scFv (v7091 and v10000) and the Fab-Fab (v6903) formats had approximately a 1.7-fold increased Bmax, the scFv-scFv format (v6717) had a 1.5-fold increased Bmax and the Fab-scFv (v5019) and FSA combination (v506+v4184) had a 1.8-fold increased Bmax compared to v506. The apparent K_(D) of the exemplary anti-HER2 biparatopic Fab-scFv antibodies was approximately 2 to 4-fold higher compared to the monospecific v506; whereas the K_(D) of the Fab-Fab (v6903) and scFv-scFv (v6717) were approximately 8-fold higher compared to v506.

FIG. 41C and Table 37 shows the FACS binding results of the exemplary biparatopic antibodies to the HER2 1+MCF7 breast tumor cell line. The results show that anti-HER2 antibody v10000 and FSA combination (v506+v4184) have a 1.6-fold higher Bmax compared to the monospecific bivalent anti-HER2 antibody v506. The Fab-scFv (v5019, v7091) had approximately a 1.4-fold; the scFv-scFv format (v6717) a 1.3-fold, and the Fab-Fab format (v6903) had a 1.2-fold increased Bmax compared to v506. The apparent K_(D) of the exemplary anti-HER2 biparatopic Fab-scFv, Fab-Fab (v6903) and FSA combination (v506+v4184) was approximately 2 to 3-fold lower compared to v506; whereas the K_(D) of the scFv-scFv (v6717) was approximately 3-fold higher compared to v506.

FIG. 41D and Table 38 shows the FACS binding results of the exemplary biparatopic antibodies to the HER2 0/1+MDA-MD-231 breast tumor cell line. The results show that exemplary biparatopic anti-HER2 antibodies had approximately 1.3 to 1.4-fold increased Bmax compared to the monospecific bivalent anti-HER2 antibody v506. The FSA combination (v506+v4184) had a 1.7-fold increased Bmax The apparent K_(D) of the exemplary anti-HER2 biparatopic Fab-scFv antibodies (v5019, v7091, v10000) and FSA combination (v506+v4184) had an approximate equivalent KD compared to v506; whereas Fab-Fab (v6903) and scFv-scFv (v6717) was approximately 4 and 16-fold higher K_(D) respectively, compared to v506.

The tumor cell binding results show that anti-HER2 biparatopic antibodies with different molecular formats have an increased Bmax on HER2 3+, 2+, 1+ and 0/1+ tumor cells compared to a bivalent monospecific anti-HER2 antibody. Of the different anti-HER2 biparatopic antibodies, the scFv-scFv format had the lowest Bmax gain relative to v506 on HER2 3+, 2+, 1+ and 0/1+ tumor cellsThese results also show that scFv-scFv and Fab-Fab formats have the greatest increase in K_(D) on HER2 3+, 2+, 1+ and 0/1+ tumor cells compared monospecific v506 (3 to 16-fold increase) and the biparatopic Fab-scFv formats (approximately 2-fold or greater). The increase in K_(D) is an indication of a reduction in avid binding and suggests that different biparatopic formats have unique mechanisms of binding to HER2 on the cell surface.

Example 40 Effect of Anti-HER2 Biparatopic Antibody Format on Internalization in HER2+ Cells

The following experiment was conducted to compare the ability of exemplary anti-HER2 ECD2x ECD4 biparatopic antibodies that have different molecular formats (e.g. v6717, scFv-scFv IgG1; v6903 and v6902 Fab-Fab IgG1; v5019, v7091 and v10000 Fab-scFv IgG1) to internalize in HER2+ cells expressing HER2 at varying levels.

The experiment was conducted as detailed in Example 9. The results are shown in FIG. 42 and Tables 39-41. FIG. 42A and Table 39 show the internalization results in HER2 3+BT-474. These results show that the Fab-scFv format (v10000) and the FSA combination (v506+v4184) have 2.2-fold greater quantities of intracellular antibody, compared to the monospecific anti-HER2 v506. The scFv-scFv format (v6717) had 1.9-fold greater; the Fab-scFv formats (v5019 and v7091) had 1.5 to 1.7-fold greater; and the Fab-Fab formats (v6902 and v6903) had 1.2 to 1.3-fold greater quantities of intracellular antibody accumulation compared to v506.

FIG. 42B and Table 40 show the internalization results in HER2 2+JIMT-1. These results show that the Fab-scFv format (v10000) and the FSA combination (v506+v4184) have respectively 1.8 and 1.9-fold greater quantities of intracellular antibody, compared to the monospecific anti-HER2 v506. The scFv-scFv (v6717) and the Fab-scFv formats (v5019) have 1.4-fold greater; and the Fab-scFv (v7091) and Fab-Fab formats (v6902 and v6903) had 1.2-fold greater quantities of intracellular antibody accumulation compared to v506.

FIG. 42C and Table 41 show the internalization results in HER2 1+MCF7. These results show that the scFv-scFv format and Fab-scFv formats have 3.0 and 2.8-fold greater quantities of intracellular antibody, compared to the monospecific anti-HER2 v506. The Fab-scFv format (v10000) and the FSA combination (v506+v4184) have approximately 2.0-fold; the Fab-scFv (v7091) and Fab-Fab (v6903) formats have 1.8-fold greater quantities of intracellular antibody accumulation compared to v506.

These results show that anti-HER2 biparatopic antibodies with different molecular formats have unique degrees of internalization in HER2 3+, 2+ and 1+ tumor cells that varies with respect to the structure and format of the antigen-binding domains. In general, the monospecific FSA combination of v506 and v4184, the Fab-scFv (v10000, v7091 and v5019) and the scFv-scFv (v6717) biparatopic formats had the higher internalization values in the HER2 3+, 2+ and 1+ tumor cells. Whereas, the Fab-Fab biparatopic formats (v6902 and v6903) had the lowest internalization values in the HER2 3+, 2+ and 1+ tumor cells. These data suggest that the molecular format and geometric spacing of the antigen-binding domains has an influence on the ability of the biparatopic antibodies to cross-link HER2 receptors, and subsequently to internalize in HER2+ tumor cells. The Fab-Fab biparatopic format, having the greatest distance between the two antigen-binding domains, resulted in the lowest degree of internalization, whereas the Fab-scFv and scFv-scFv formats, having shorter distances between the antigen-binding domains, had greater internalization in HER2 + cells. This is consistent with the correlation of potency and shorter linker length as described in Jost et al 2013, Structure 21, 1979-1991).

Example 41 Effect of Anti-HER2 Biparatopic Antibody Format on ADCC in HER2+ Cells

The following experiment was conducted to compare the ability of exemplary anti-HER2 ECD2x ECD4 biparatopic antibodies that have different molecular formats (e.g. v6717, scFv-scFv IgG1; v6903 and v6902 Fab-Fab IgG1; v5019, v7091 and v10000 Fab-scFv IgG1) to mediate ADCC in HER2+ cells expressing HER2 at varying levels.

Prior to performing the ADCC assay, glycopeptide analysis was performed on the antibody samples to quantify the fucose content in the N-linked glycopeptide. The method was followed as described in Example 23. The results are shown in Table 42; the data shows that exemplary biparatopic variants v5019, v6717, v6903 have equivalent fucose content in the N-linked glycan (91-93%). Antibody samples with equivalent levels of fucose in the N-glycan were selected for the ADCC assay to normalize for fucose content in the interpretation of the ADCC assay results.

TABLE 42 LC-MS Tryptic peptide analysis Percentage of Glycopeptides Percentage of Glycopeptides Variant Observed WITH Fucose Observed WITHOUT Fucose v6903 90.7 9.3 v6717 92.8 7.2 v5019 91.3 8.7

The ADCC experiment was conducted as described in Example 11 with E/T: 5:1 with NK-92 effector cells. The ADCC results are shown in FIG. 43 and Tables 43-45. FIG. 43A and Table 43 show the ADCC results in HER2 2+JIMT-1 breast tumor cells. These data show that v5019, v6717 and v6903 elicit similar levels of maximum cell lysis and that the scFv-scFv format (v6717) is less potent compared to v5019 and v6903 when HER2 2+ tumor cells are targets.

FIG. 43B and Table 44 show the ADCC results in HER2 1+MCF7 breast tumor cells. These data show that v5019 and v6717 have slightly higher maximum cell lysis (27-30%) compared to v6903 (24%). These data also show that v6717 is the least potent, followed by v6903 and v5019, which have lower EC50 values.

FIG. 43C and Table 45 show the ADCC results in HER2 0/1+MDA-MB-231 breast tumor cells. These data show that v5019 shows slightly higher maximum cell lysis (77%) compared to v6903 (62%) and v6717 (63%). These data also show that v6717 is the least potent, followed by v6903 and v5019, which have lower EC₅₀ values.

These data show that exemplary anti-HER2 ECD2x ECD4 biparatopic antibodies elicit similar levels of maximum cell lysis by ADCC in HER2 2+ and 1+ tumor cells. Despite similarities in maximal cell lysis, these data also show that the different molecular formats have unique ADCC potencies. The scFv-scFv was the least potent (greatest EC₅₀ values) in the HER2 2+ and HER2 1+. Differential potencies among the three formats was seen in the ADCC data targeting HER2 1+ cells, where the EC50 values for v6717>v6903>v5019. These data are consistent with the observations presented in Example 40 (FACS binding), where an increase in K_(D) (reduced affinity) was seen with the Fab-Fab and scFv-scFv formats.

Example 42 Effect of Anti-HER2 Biparatopic Antibody Format on Growth of HER2+ Tumor Cells

The following experiment was conducted to compare the effect of anti-HER2 biparatopic antibody format on growth of HER2 3+, 2+ and 1+ tumor cells, either basal growth or ligand-stimulated. Basal growth was measured as described in Example 15, while ligand-stimulated growth was measured as described in Example 27. In both types of experiments, growth was measured as % survival with respect to control treatment.

FIG. 44 and Table 46 show the effect of exemplary anti-HER2 ECD2x ECD4 biparatopic antibodies on growth of HER2 3+ breast cancer cells (BT-474) in the presence of exogenous growth-stimulatory ligands (EGF and HRG). In the absence of EGF or HRG, the anti-HER2 biparatopic antibodies were able to inhibit growth of BT-474 cells, where % survival of each treatment group ranked as follows: v6903<v506+v4184<506<v7091<v5019<v10000<v6717. In the presence of HRG, growth inhibition relative to the mock control was achieved only with the FSA combination of v506+v4184. In the presence of EGF, growth inhibition relative to the mock control was achieved, where % survival of each treatment group ranked as follows: v6903<v506+v4184<7091<v10000<5019.

FIG. 45 shows the dose-dependent effect of the anti-HER2 biparatopic antibody formats on growth inhibition of the SKBr3 HER2 3+ cell line. The data is consistent with the results presented in FIG. 44, where the rank order potency/efficacy of the biparatopic formats is as follows Fab-Fab>Fab-scFv>scFv-scFv in HER2 3+ tumor cells.

The effect of anti-HER2 biparatopic antibody formats on survival of HER2+ cells is shown in FIG. 46, where FIG. 46A shows the result in the Trastuzumab sensitive SKOV3 HER2 2+/3+ cell line at 300 nM; FIG. 46B shows the result in JIMT-1 HER2 2+ (Trastuzumab resistant) cells at 300 nM, and FIG. 46C shows the result in MCF7 HER2 1+ cell line at 300 nM. In the SKOV3 cell line, little difference was observed among the biparatopic formats in the extent of growth inhibition, and no growth inhibition was observed by any of the test antibodies in JIMT-1 and MCF7 cells.

The data in FIG. 44 and FIG. 45 show that anti-HER2 ECD2x ECD4 biparatopic antibodies with the Fab-scFv and Fab-Fab formats (v5019, v7091, v10000, v6903) are capable of growth inhibition HER2 3+ tumor cells in the absence, and presence of EGF or HRG. In the HER2 3+ cell lines BT-474 and SKBR3, growth inhibition relative to the mock control rank ordered as follows, where v506+v4184>v6903>v7091>v10000>v5019>v506>v6717. The distance between antigen-binding domains (Fab-Fab>Fab-scFv>scFv-scFv) correlates with the rank order of growth inhibition in the HER2 3+ tumor cells. Based on the data in trastuzumab-sensitive tumor cells, BT-474, and SKBr3, it may be expected that the growth inhibition difference among formats is significant at the HER2 3+ level but less so at the HER2 2+ or HER2 1+ levels.

Example 43 Evaluation of HER2 Binding Affinity and Kinetic at Varying Antibody Capture Levels

The following experiment was conducted to compare HER2 binding kinetics (kd, off-rate) of exemplary anti-HER2 ECD2x ECD4 biparatopic antibodies when captured at varying surface densities by SPR. The correlation between a reduced (slower) off-rate with increasing antibody capture levels (surface density) is an indication of Trans binding (i.e. one antibody molecule binding to two HER2 molecules, described in Example 12). In this experiment the Fab-Fab format (v6903) was compared to the Fab-scFv format (v7091) to determine potential difference in Trans binding among the variants. Due to the larger spatial distance between antigen-binding domains, it is hypothesized that the Fab-Fab format may be capable of Cis binding (engaging ECD 2 and 4 on one HER2 molecule); whereas, the Fab-scFv would not capable of Cis binding due to the shorter distance between the it's antigen-binding domains. The anti-HER2 monospecific v506 was included as a control.

The experiment was conducted by SPR as described in Example 12. The data are shown in FIG. 47. FIG. 47A shows the plot and linear regression analysis for the kd (1/s) at different antibody capture levels with v6903 and v7091. Both v7091 and v6093 show a trend for decreasing off-rate with increasing surface capture levels; however, the correlation is significant with the Fab-scFv variant (v7091; P value=0.023) but not the Fab-Fab format (v6093; P value=0.053). The off-rate remained unchanged with varying antibody capture levels for the anti-HER2 monospecific control, v506.

FIG. 47B shows the plot and linear regression analysis for the K_(D) (M) at different antibody capture levels with v6903 and v7091. Similar to the off-rate comparison, both v7091 and v6093 show a trend for increasing affinity (lower K_(D) value) with increasing surface capture levels. However, the correlation is significant with the Fab-scFv variant (v7091; P value=0.04) but not the Fab-Fab format (v6093; P value=0.51). The K_(D) remained unchanged with varying antibody capture levels for the anti-HER2 monospecific control, v506. The data in FIG. 47 shows that the Fab-Fab and Fab-scFv anti-HER2 biparatopic antibody formats show trends of decreasing off-rates with increasing antibody surface capture levels; these trends are unique compared to a monospecific anti-Her2 antibody.

Example 44 Affinity and Stability Engineering of the Pertuzumab Fab

As indicated in Table 1, one variant (v10000) contains mutations in the Pertuzumab Fab. This Fab was derived from affinity and stability engineering in silico efforts, which were measured experimentally as monovalent or One-Armed Antibodies (OAAs).

Variant 9996: a monovalent anti-HER2 antibody, where the HER2 binding domain is a Fab derived from pertuzumab on chain A, with Y96A in VL region and T30A/A49G/L69F in VH region (Kabat numbering) and the Fc region is a heterodimer having the mutations T350V_L351Y_F405A_Y407V (EU numbering) in Chain A, T350V_T366L_K392L_T394W (EU numbering) in Chain B, and the hinge region of Chain B having the mutation C226S; the antigen-binding domain binds to domain 4 of HER2.

Variant 10014: a monovalent anti-HER2 antibody, where the HER2 binding domain is a Fab derived from pertuzumab on chain A, with Y96A in VL region and T30A in VH region (Kabat numbering) and the Fc region is a heterodimer having the mutations T350V_L351Y_F405A_Y407V (EU numbering) in Chain A, T350V_T366L_K392L_T394W (EU numbering) in Chain B, and the hinge region of Chain B having the mutation C226S; the antigen-binding domain binds to domain 4 of HER2.

Variant 10013: a monovalent anti-HER2 antibody, where the HER2 binding domain is a Fab derived from wild type pertuzumab on chain A, and the Fc region is a heterodimer having the mutations T350V_L351Y_F405A_Y407V (EU numbering) in Chain A, T350V_T366L_K392L_T394W (EU numbering) in Chain B, and the hinge region of Chain B having the mutation C226S; the antigen-binding domain binds to domain 4 of HER2.

The following experiments were conducted to compare HER2 binding affinity and stability of the engineered Pertuzumab variants.

OAA variants were cloned and expressed as described in Example 1.

OAA were purified by protein A chromatography and Size Exclusion Chromatography, as described in Example 1.

Heterodimer purity (i.e. amount of OAA with a heterodimeric Fc) was assessed by non-reducing High Throughput Protein Express assay using Caliper LabChip GXII (Perkin Elmer #760499). Procedures were carried out according to HT Protein Express LabChip User Guide version2 LabChip GXII User Manual, with the following modifications. Heterodimer samples, at either 2 μl or 5 μl (concentration range 5-2000 ng/μl), were added to separate wells in 96 well plates (BioRad #HSP9601) along with 7 μl of HT Protein Express Sample Buffer (Perkin Elmer #760328). The heterodimer samples were then denatured at 70° C. for 15 mins. The LabChip instrument is operated using the HT Protein Express Chip (Perkin Elmer #760499) and the Ab-200 assay setting. After use, the chip was cleaned with MilliQ water and stored at 4° C.

The stability of the samples was assessed by measuring melting temperature or Tm, as determined by DSC with the protocol shown in example 24. The DSC was measured before and after SEC purification.

The affinity towards HER2 ECD of the samples was measured by SPR following the protocol from example 12. The SPR was measured before and after SEC purification.
